WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Meet Lis (Ventouras) and Tis (Goethals), twin sisters who've never been away from home. Meet pessimistic Axel (Arend) - who fears he is slowly disappearing - and his lonely roommate Tudeberg (Louryk), who obsessively keeps house. Meet Viktor (Grace), who suffers from a constant migraine, and meet Bimsy (Scott Flaherty), who just can't seem to unpack her bags.
Just wait until they meet each other.
From Line Knutzon, Denmark's most critically acclaimed contemporary playwright, comes First You're Born, a stylized, irreverent romantic comedy about loneliness and isolation, in which six awkward and impulsive innocents search for love with hilarious (and potentially hazardous) results.
The production will feature a set designed by Takeshi Kata, costumes designed by Jenny Mannis, lighting designed by Shelley Sable, and sound designed by Brian PJ Cronin. Production Stage Manager is Lauren Daghini.

In the pink apartment shared by Pis (pronounced "Piss") and rhyming sister Lis, there's a two-foot stack of wadded toilet paper that Lis calls a "snot pile" or some such. It could be said that the whimsy here is stacked just about as high as -- or even higher than -- those dried tissues in Line Knutzon's play, First You're Born, translated from the Danish by Charlotte Barslund and Kim Dambæck and including a character named Bimsy (rhymes with "whimsy"). Oh, lordy, the cutesy-pie things that go on in this 10-scene, intermissionless work! Luckily, they're occasionally leavened by a line or even a series of lines that rise to the genuinely cute. For instance, one character observes to ano[...]
