stirring

“Riveting […] provocative, hip and beautifully put together” — Three Weeks
“Highly stylish[…] perceptive about a generation” — The Guardian

A sold-out smash hit at the 2004 New York International Fringe Festival and the 2005 Edinburgh Fringe Festival, stirring returns by popular demand and gives lovelorn New Yorkers the chance to find love off stage.

Drawing inspiration from Ovid’s classic tale of Pygmalion and the enormous online personals community, stirring takes audiences inside the lives of seven lonely New York hipsters as they navigate their desperate fantasies and grim realities all from the safety of their laptops. Are these strangers one click away from happiness?

After three of the performances, Shalimar Productions and celebrity guests host fun speed dating events for single members of the audience and cast. Drinks included. Must be 21+ for the speed dating events.
