Scott Wheeler has everything
- a good wife, a good dog, a
good house (sort of), a good
job as the Headmaster of the
oldest continuously
operating boarding school
southwest of the Connecticut
River and a portrait of the
school's founder who talks to
him. An unexpected visitor
from his past forces Scott to
come to terms with his
present and future.

• Baltimore City Paper wrote, “Fifty-Fifty is an unabashed comedy that jumps out
of the gate with crisp authority and is propelled though its dramatic turns by clever
wordplay and zingy one-liners. Espey believes in his pen, and what it has turned out
is a sparkling traipse through the prickly politics of bisexuality.” Read the full review
• The Baltimore Sun wrote, “Rich Espey's Fifty-Fifty examines hypocrisy, sexual
orientation and appearances vs. reality. And, it tackles these weighty themes with wit
and humor... In addition to swift plotting and character development, the playwright
also displays a knack for clever turns of phrase [and] unfurls his plot complications
with the sure hand of a farceur.”
