Gaslighting is My Love Language is about being gaslit for 13 years by a character actor husband. Fresh off a successful run at 2023 Edinburgh Fringe, the show was featured in the UK Times, who wrote, “Their marriage was like the Exxon Valdez supertanker leaking gallons of oil in your home.” Fielding Edlow (Bojack Horseman) is an intimacy-avoidant, charming woman who just wanted a boyfriend and ended up in a 13-year marriage or “light hostage situation.” It’s a 21st century Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? but instead of parlor games and Dewars, it’s wordle and microdosing sheet cakes. ...
