Forbidden Marriage

​

Story by Richard Roller – Screenplay by Richard Roller & Greg Bell.

​

Forbidden Marriage is a fictional/screenplay about Mason Andrews, a reporter with the Los Angeles Times.  Mason is dealing with personal demons, failed relationships, and the struggles of a recovering alcoholic.

 

He reluctantly agrees to cover the trial of Lehi Brewster, a Salt Lake police officer who lost his job because of, and is on trial for, being married to two women.

 

Mason is curious to find out how these men manage to have successful relationships with more than one woman, at the same time, when he hasn’t been able to do so with one.

 

In the midst of the trial, a busload of gays, lesbians, transvestites and transgenders arrive to support marriage equality for all.  They are not well-received; especially by the ultra-conservative, religious polygamist families who have come out to support Lehi and their right to marriage equality.

 

Forbidden Marriage raises the bar on the question:  Who should or should not be allowed to marry?
