Time Magazine Play of the Year
Variety says: “Rebecca Gilman offers up a tale of Gotham singledom you won’t be seeing
any time soon on ‘Sex and the City.’ A disturbing chiller about a woman whose life of
accomplishment is quickly destroyed by a disturbed admirer, the play works powerfully at
its most basic level…”
Theresa Bedell is a successful reporter in New York who loves her work and the life she
has made for herself. A relationship with a man would complete the picture and so she
agrees to go on a blind date with a friend of a friend. Tony is attractive and funny, but
Theresa isn’t sure, and after a second date she’s convinced they have nothing in common
and sees no point in continuing the relationship. Tony, though, thinks otherwise. What at
first seems like persistence on his part grows into obsession, and Theresa’s annoyance
with Tony turns to terror as he begins to threaten her and those around her. Ultimately,
Theresa must fight to save herself from being erased by Tony’s actions which call into
question the assumptions at the very heart of romantic pursuit.
Playing in rotating repertory with BOYS’ LIFE, the Pulitzer Prize nominated play by
Howard Korder.
