Marrying Jake Gyllenhaal

About the Show

When Mel, late 30’s, single, broke and desperate, buys into her Jewish mother’s fantasy that she and Jake Gyllenhaal are bashert, she embarks on a hilarious and heartbreaking reckoning with the bullshit fairy-tales women and girls are expected to believe. Initially devised as an elaborate ruse to actually marry Jake Gyllenhaal, - after moving from Los Angeles to New York and facing her history of toxic, destructive relationship models - Melissa has revamped the play as a rallying cry to confront the reality of gender-based trauma, and burn down the patriarchal myths that keep women and girls trapped by delusional fantasy.
