Playback

From the team behind Mikvah Girls by Emmy Weissman, winner of 2024’s Hollywood Fringe Award for Drama, comes another bold world premiere play. Produced by This Is A Front, directed by Brian Eckert, and written by Jessica Marie Fisher. It’s time for Expiration Date, Charlie’s latest viral podcast in which she interviews former couples about the demise of their relationships… starting with her own. But when information her ex-boyfriend doesn’t want released is shared without his consent, a dangerous power struggle ensues. Playback is a tense, controversial drama about narrative control, the violence of being turned into content, and our need to replay relationships better left in the past. CONTENT WARNING: discussion and depiction of sexual assault.
