The ineffable substance that holds a marriage and relationship together is explored in “Crazy Glue,” which opened the 2016-17 season at Touchstone Theatre, Bethlehem.

The London-based, two-person Single Shoe Theatre Productions’ “Crazy Glue” was presented Oct. 6 (the performance seen for this review) and Oct. 7 at Touchstone Theatre, where the one-act, 65-mins. show (with no intermission) continues at 8 p.m. Oct. 8 and 2 p.m. Oct. 9.

Filipa Tomas and Bradley Wayne Smith navigate the vicissitudes of a couple with a baby on the way as they negotiate each other’s space (brushing teeth), catch up on events (reading a newspaper) and otherwise engage in the day-to-day activities from the mundane to the sublime to the absurd.

Love creates a relationship. The question becomes: Can love survive the relationship?

Tomas and Smith perform wordlessly, with the exception of some vocal sounds and gibberish, to a soundtrack of American standards, ragtime and old-timey instrumentals and sound effects.

Their timing is exquisite, their expressions are priceless and their body language speaks volumes. They perform effortlessly. It’s mime set to music.

It’s not all movement with this movement theater. There are reflective moments of stillness. “Crazy Glue” has a meditative quality.

Tomas and Smith created “Crazy Glue,” which is based on a short story by Israeli writer Etgar Keret. Dramaturge is Katharine Markwick. It is the duo’s first theater piece. It premiered at the Edinburgh Festival in 2014. It is being presented for the first time in the United States.

Movement Director is Bert Roman. Dance Choreographer is Antony Palmer.

Scenic Designer is Anne Gry. Costume Designer is Erin Nugent.

Lighting Designer is Catherine Web Technician is Emma Chong. Clown Consultant is Alex Swift.

The effect of “Crazy Glue” is that of a silent movie, but live on-stage. The set consists of two chairs and boxes, the latter serving multiple uses.

Whenever emotions seem frayed beyond belief and the relationship is rent asunder, the crazy glue container is utilized for repairs.

It seems to stick. And so does “Crazy Glue,” which sticks with you long after it’s over.

Of course, you’re never supposed to play with the real-life Krazy Glue or Super Glue. It’s not to be trifled with. Nor is love.
