THIS RANDOM WORLD at North Coast Repertory Theatre

West Coast Premiere
By Steven Dietz
Directed by David Ellenstein

Through a swirl of nearly missed connections, THIS RANDOM WORLD follows a series of intersecting lives: A mother determined to maintain her independence, a daughter longing for adventure, two sisters seeking common ground, and an internet prank gone awry. At turns warmly humorous and lyrically bittersweet, this play by Steven Dietz investigates what it is to love, to lose, and be touched by the serendipity of life.


“The characters are drawn with empathy and humor, and the cascading series of coincidences illustrate we are all hostages to chance.” —NY Times.

“…succeeds on every level…. The play is fast and funny.” Arts-Louisville.com.

“…wistful and often very funny…Dietz’s premise holds power and grace.”
