Playwright\/director Brenda McFarlane\u2019s one-act piece Slut <\/em>takes humorous aim at the socially ordained \u201cone partner for life\u201d ideal, at least for Matilda, who asks whether being good \u201cwith little bits of intimacy\u201d can\u2019t be enough and why serial partnering is bad. (She has come to this after a marriage in which: \u201cI did something no one can ever do in a relationship. I lost myself.\u201d)\u00a0
