Photo Flash: Steppenwolf Presents SEX WITH STRANGERS
Steppenwolf Theatre Company continues its 2010-2011 season with Sex with Strangers by Laura Eason directed by associate artist Jessica Thebus. The production features ensemble member Sally Murphy with Stephen Louis Grush. Sex with Strangers plays January 20 - May 15, 2011 in Steppenwolf's Upstairs Theatre, 1650 N. Halsted St. The press performances are Saturday, January 29 at 3 pm and Tuesday, February 1 at 7:30 pm.
Ethan is a hot young writer whose online journals of "sexcapades" are the buzz of the blogosphere. Olivia is an attractive 30-something whose own writing career never took off. They hook up, sex turns into dating and dating into something more complicated. A break-out hit at Steppenwolf's 2009 First Look Repertory of New Work, Sex with Strangers explores what happens when our online and offline identities intersect.
Laura Eason, a longtime member of the Lookingglass Theatre ensemble, is the author of more than 15 plays, both original works and adaptations. Previous productions at Steppenwolf include When the Messenger is Hot, A Tale of Two Cities and Huck Finn. Jessica Thebus directed Sex with Strangers during Steppenwolf's 2009 First Look Repertory of New Work. Other Steppenwolf directing credits include Intimate Apparel, Dead Man's Cell Phone, No Place Like Home, When the Messenger is Hot (also 59E59 Theaters, NYC) and Sonia Flew.Photo Credit: Michael Brosilow
