It was full of laugh­ter, full of colour and it was fun. Why Did I Get Mar­ried Tri­ni Style saw a packed au­di­to­ri­um at Na­pari­ma Bowl in San Fer­nan­do. Play­wright Ray­mond Choo Kong had the mem­bers of the au­di­ence lit­er­al­ly falling out of their seats as he trans­formed Tyler Per­ry's dra­ma movie in­to a comedic lo­cal play. The play high­light­ed the dif­fi­cul­ties faced by four mar­ried cou­ples, in an ef­fort to main­tain faith­ful re­la­tion­ships. The cou­ples, all friends, went on a va­ca­tion in Char­lot­teville, To­ba­go. But ten­sions mount­ed as in­fi­deli­ty and be­tray­al came to the fore, rais­ing the ques­tion, Why did I get mar­ried?

Fraught with pi­cong and at­ti­tude, the char­ac­ter An­gela, played by Abeo Jack­son, seemed to be most favoured by the au­di­ence. She rep­re­sent­ed a type of Trinida­di­an who could be found in most places. She was what could be clas­si­fied as a "bac­cha­nal­ist" and drunk­ard.

She con­stant­ly ar­gued with her hus­band Mar­cus (Arnold Goind­han), who ap­peared a bit fear­ful of her.

Choo Kong took on the char­ac­ter of Mike, who was bla­tant­ly un­faith­ful to his lov­ing wife Sheila (Rachel Bas­combe). He bad­gered her about her weight, and even­tu­al­ly left with her sin­gle friend Tri­na (Car­nel­la Barkley). The re­la­tion­ship of Pa­tri­cia and Garvin (Car­o­line Tay­lor and Mark Not­ting­ham) was wound­ed when Pa­tri­cia found out that her hus­band blamed her for the death of their son, Noah. Di­anne and Ter­ry (Jea­nine Lee Kim and Kearn Samuel) al­most got di­vorced on the grounds of Ter­ry be­ing up­set at be­ing ig­nored. They fre­quent­ly ar­gued that Di­anne's job hin­dered her from her be­ing a good wife. Ter­ry had pa­trons in stitch­es with his view that the best way to di­vorce a woman was via a text mes­sage. "I am di­vorc­ing u lol :)," his mes­sage read. The show ran for three nights and end­ed last Sun­day.
