After a preview run with exceptional reviews including:



"very well executed and thought provoking... John Dapolito got great performances out of each of the actors."

-Michael Roderick (Broadway Producer with R2D2 Productions, The Scottsboro Boys at the Lyceum on Broadway)



We have been invited back for a Special Encore Performance! Audiences leave talking about this show and you will to!



Two ex-lovers. One has moved on. The other has not...

What results onstage might be considered anything but romantic...



A delightfully dark tale written without gender in order to explore the limits of power and gender onstage. This production explores this concept quite thoroughly. Enjoy an evening that is as much about the audiences perception of gender and power as what the artists present.



Key Note: The play has never been performed as a single night of theatre, and remained an obscure piece up until our recent production. We feel honored that Mr. LaBute felt confident enough to put his work in our hands and we have been in constant contact with him throughout the production. We have certainly grown this crowd-pleasing production from pre-views to opening. So please, join us for this very exciting encore performance courtesy of Theatre owner John Cooper of The Shell Theatre 300 West 43rd Street, 4th Floor
