This wickedly funny play asks what we do owe the people we love and the strangers who land on our doorstep?
A newlywed couple fixes up two romantically-challenged friends but when an evening calculated to bring happiness takes a dark turn, crisis and comedy ensue.
Becky Shaw premiered off-Broadway in 2009, making it as a finalist that year for the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, and made its long-awaited Broadway debut earlier this year.
This production is suitable for ages 16 and over.
This amateur production of BECKY SHAW is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals Ltd. on behalf of Dramatists Play Service. www.concordtheatricals.co.uk
