`All Is Fair` (or `Oblivion Wrought`) at Dorie Theatre at The Complex

Idly Bent presents the World Premiere of award winning Director-Playwright Reed Arnold`s new play, `All Is Fair` (or `Oblivion Wrought`), at the Dorie Theatre in Hollywood, CA, opening on Friday, April 8th for eleven performances through Sunday, April 24, 2016. This funny and thought-provoking play grapples with the thornier side of the emotions and ethics of love. `All is Fair` stars Arnold, Sarah Elizabeth Johnston, Michael Minto, and Ross Gallo.

In the thought-provoking and funny `All Is Fair,` written and directed by Reed Arnold, Heather (Johnston) and Dan (Arnold) are two promising accounting consultants in Chicago. The coworkers spend long hours and late nights working together on their firm`s most challenging cases while trying to ignore the sparks flying between them, but when Heather gets engaged to her longtime boyfriend, they finally acknowledge their mutual attraction. Instead of dismissing it outright, they take an emotionally risky, professionally reckless, and morally fraught journey into the what-might-have-been.

Stomaching the teasing of Dan`s roommate Chris (Minto), who is dealing with trust issues in his own relationship, and avoiding the suspicions of Vince (Gallo), their boss `in title only,` the two must make decisions about love, trust, pride, and passion as Heather`s wedding day looms ever closer. This poignant and provocative new play looks at the thornier side of the emotions and ethics of love and asks what beautiful and brutal things people do in its name. If it is indeed true that all is fair, then, in the end, nothing is.

The play is written and directed by Arnold; set design is by Brian Cole; lighting design is by Rebecca Raines; and Zachary Zarvos is the stage manager. For additional information, please visit the play`s website at http://allisfairplay.com/.
