WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
MCC Theater presents Benjamin Bratt and Julianna Margulies in the world premiere of Intrigue With Faye, by Kate Robin, in which an urban couple attempts to cultivate the trust and intimacy that evades them by videotaping one another's every move. This modern relationship drama, testing the limits of truth and accountability, will fascinate anyone who wonders what happens when his or her partner walks out of a room. The cast also features Gretchen Mol, Craig Bierko, Swoosie Kurtz, Tom Noonan, Michael Gaston, and Jenna Lamia, each appearing as one of six video-only characters, their images projected onto a 6' by 8' size flat screen monitor. Jim Simpson directs.
Post-performance talk-backs on topical discussions follow Tuesday evening performances.

"It's about now, it's about all of us," a character who shows up in a video exclaims, and that assessment could be applied to the drama itself.
During the action, in which significant others Lissa (Julianna Margulies) and Kean
(Benjamin Bratt) sign a 30-day "we won't lie to each other" contract and later agree to videotape their separate activities 24/7, there is a certain sense that Robin has caught and chloroformed for eventual dissection and demonstration the way we live now, the way we are so often ill[...]
