80 mins. No Intermission.

WRITTEN BY MONA PIRNOT

2023 Helen Hayes Nominee for Outstanding New Play or Musical

A searing one-act play interrogating the collision between privacy rights and our intimate relationships.

Georgia’s husband Corbin has landed his dream job as a product engineer working under a tech superstar. Georgia is thrilled–that is, until she learns that the company demands round-the-clock monitoring of their devices. Mona Pirnot’s dynamic one act relentlessly dissects a relationship brought to the brink of ruin by an exposed lie, and raises the question of how much personal privacy we should expect from our friends, employers, and partners in the digital tech era.

“A gripping and electric ‘Private’ astounds... Mona Pirnot’s play is one of the most electrifying new works I have seen on any stage.” — DC METRO THEATER ARTS

“So persuasive you may wish it had a second act... The best plays about the future look at social issues through the lens of one relationship. Mona’s play does that.” — WASHINGTON POST

“From the visionary youngsters behind SFBATCO.” — SF CHRONICLE
