Boy Gets Girl - A Play

This is the dilemma facing Theresa Bedell, a reporter in New York, in Rebecca Gilman's tensely fascinating new play. When Theresa goes on an awkward blind date with a friend of a friend, she sees no reason to continue the relationship - but the man, an attractive fellow named Tony, thinks otherwise

While Theresa is at first annoyed yet flattered by his continuing attention, her attitude gradually changes to one of fear and fury when he starts violently to menace her and those around her

In brilliantly delineating the kind of terror a woman in full control of her life feels when everything around her suddenly seems to be a threat, Gilman probes the dark side of relationships in the 1990s with the rich insight and compelling characterizations that have distinguished her earlier plays and made her one of the most exciting young playwrights working today

"One of the finest, most disturbing American plays in years" ~ Time

"A provocative, unsettling play, further proof of Gilman's ability to shake up a theater audience with the power of her ideas - and words" ~ Chicago Tribune
