A giddy, fleet fantasy based on the love and adventures of a brother and his sister diagnosed with a deadly virus that sends the two of them spinning off to Europe to find romance and a cure. Critically acclaimed by the New York Times as “a crazy-quilt patchwork of hyperventilating language, erotic jokes, movie kitsch that spins before the audience in Viennese waltz time, replete with a dizzying fall." Rep Stage is proud to present this Obie Award winning dark comedy during the 25th anniversary year of the original workshop production.

Four New Yorkers seek shelter, both physical and spiritual, in a variety of temporary abodes and in one another in this smart and sexy comedy. Named one of the Ten Best Plays of 2008 by New York Magazine, and lauded by Variety for its “bracing wit and intelligence”. Raising the same concerns as any romantic comedy—who will end up with whom and why should we care? But in re-casting the old relationship questions as real-estate issues—who will move in with whom and what will be the price of this commitment? —Berman finds a fresh and funny way of examining the trials and tribulations of being on your own in a bewildering existential landscape.

RUTH: Female early 30s
ASTOR: Male mid-late 30s
JESSE: Male 35
BESS: Female 20
