Lucy Teitler

Published by Dramatists Play Service

2 Male 3 Female

It's summer in New England and every weekend is someone else's engagement party

But Lauren is not at all ready for everyone to settle down

Least of all her best friend, Allison

Then one night, when Lauren finds herself alone with Allison's boyfriend, her destructive feelings get the better of her

Surfaces are ruptured

Lies become harder to tell

And Lauren must begin to reckon with the boiling chaos within herself

This is a savage comedy about love and denial

A Midsummer Night's Dream with a few screws loose

REVIEWS

"Captivating " ~ The New Yorker

" bitingly funny Ms. Teitler writes tangy dialogue rich in sharp-witted repartee" ~ The New York Times

" naughty and playful fascinating overflowing with big ideas Teitler takes a loathsome protagonist and makes us actually like her (or at least understand her)" ~ TheaterMania.com

"At center, it's the portrait of a fascinatingly complex woman Teitler's writing is whip-smart, and the text is filled with memorable lines" ~ The Boston Globe
