Claire cycles through three husbands over the course of the play. She arrives to Güllen with her seventh husband in tow, but promptly abandons him to marry a German film star in Güllen’s cathedral, as per her childhood wish. Not a day later, she divorces the star and prepares to marry a Nobel Prize recipient. Like everyone else in Claire’s entourage, the trio receive rhyming names; they are Moby, Hoby, and Zoby, respectively. Stage directions for the play indicate that the same actor can play the three roles, which only underscores Claire’s view of her husbands as interchangeable and indistinct.
