This play, written by Gina Gionfriddo, was commissioned by Actors Theatre of Louisville with the support of the Harold and Mimi Steinberg Charitable Trust.

A newlywed couple fixes up two romantically challenged friends: Wife’s best friend, meet husband’s sexy and strange new co-worker. When an evening calculated to bring happiness takes a dark turn, crisis and comedy ensue. This wickedly funny new play asks what we owe the people we love and the strangers who land on our doorstep. This play contains strong language, and is recommended for viewers 17 years and up.

The Humana Festival of New American Plays is an annual site of pilgrimage where theatre lovers from around the world converge to get the first look at the future of the American theatre.
