Fluency

Fluency, a meta-theatrical romantic comedy, is a part of the 2008 Orlando Fringe Festival.Jack and Olivia just aren’t fluent in the language of love. They meet, and their chemistry is great! But they quickly realize they need to do more than just make out. Jack and Olivia need to figure out how to communicate with each other. What’s worse, they have to do it live, on-stage, in front of an audience. Fluency also examines the performance of communication itself, in the most obvious of venues: Olivia is a playwright, and she’s writing about Jack. She worries that her concept is pretentious, but Jack reminds her that the play-within-a-play is an old theatrical tradition. Now, in this era of reality TV, it’s hard to tell where there boundaries of performance and real life begin and end.
