let’s talk about anything else at The Flea Theatre

A new dark comedy about bugs, strangers in the woods, and the unrelenting grasp of guilt written by Anthony Anello, a group of friends escape to the Berkshires for a week-long getaway almost a year after their friend Abby’s untimely passing. Despite their efforts to keep their pasts outside the walls of their secluded AirBnB cabin, their grief continues to haunt them until they have no choice but to confront it.

“With political instability, rising authoritarianism, climate collapse, and the pressure to stay positive all while carrying the weight of collective grief for lost loved ones and for the world we thought we’d inherit, let’s talk about anything else feels deeply relevant right now,” shares Corsi. “For queer communities especially, where chosen family is everything, it’s a piercing look at how we love, hurt, and heal together. This play captures the violent unraveling that happens when we try to suppress what haunts us. When we ignore the thing we need to face, it transforms into a monster demanding to be seen. It WILL seep its way out of your skin, crawl through the floorboards, lurk in the shadows, tugging gently, then violently. So let's talk about it. Or else.”
