Haley McGee was on the phone with Visa, promising to pay off her bill by having a yard sale, when she realized that the only things she could sell were gifts from her exes. Inspired by this call, The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale: a play about love is a hilarious and daring play about the cost of love...or what love costs us. So: can we translate sentimental value into cold hard cash? Why does Haley want to -- and why now? The Ex-Boyfriend Yard Sale smashes together personal divulgences, mathematics, interviews with Haley's ex-boyfriends, economics, and the politics of commerce in a quest to determine what our romantic relationships are actually worth. This autobiographical work offers eight items "for sale" -- all gifts from Haley's real ex-boyfriends -- and introduces a brand new formula, developed with math expert Melanie Frances, to calculate the cost of love.
