| This outrageous new comedy is told in five outrageously funny parts all dealing with young women and the various issues they confront today. It's part sit-com, part stand-up, and part sketch-comedy. This collection of vignettes parades a series of foxy, witty, and anxious women who bear the expectations of the world like an itchy muffler. Coffee-driven, sensitive, wired, misunderstood, and fuming with awkward issues, these girls are frustrated with the ways of the world, the perceptions men have of them and their own complex reactions to it. How, for example, do you resolve societal contradictions like dressing sexy and still considering yourself a feminist? These women go head to head with such issues as Electra complexes, bikini waxes, low rider jeans, their oversexed mothers, thongs, brazen teenagers, men's sexual fantasies, side effects of birth control drugs, mean teenagers on the subway, sympathy sex, and the artistic integrity of penises and vaginas in independent films. This play has great material for scene and monologue work as well as for performance. | |||||

Synopsis: | In this sexy new comedy, five people are barricaded in one apartment building, with a fierce snowstorm outside, looking for love in all the wrong places. The play entwines two comic scenarios. In a downstairs apartment, Julia, a call girl, arrives for an appointment with Jeffrey, a nerdy young man who has gotten rich by inventing best-selling sexual devices. Both are in the sex business, but being young, lonely, open-hearted and without guile, naturally they fall in love. What starts as a routine "trick" with trimmings (fake palm trees, suntan lotion and lots of margaritas) ends up with Jeffrey and Julia helping each other uncover the wounds that led them to who they are, getting considerably more than they bargained for on this "first date." They are juxtaposed with the upstairs neighbors, everyday folks John and Karen, an estranged couple, settling in for a sweet reconciliation after an agreed-upon break. John's a flagrant philanderer Karen's a secret one; she had allowed him an outside affair, knowing his nature. Their plans go awry when Molly, a nubile young modern dancer whom John had dallied with, arrives to take refuge from the blizzard with him. The reconciliation between John and Karen turns into an outrageous evening of drunkenness, accusations and revelations. | |||||

Synopsis: | Stay Over "is a comedy of what can happen to you when trying to make up after an infidelity. Mark and Michelle, a thirtysomething couple, are settling in for an affectionate reconciliation on a snowy night in New York. Mark's a bit of a rake, and Michelle had allowed him an outside affair, in the hope that he would 'get it out of his system'. She relents on her tolerance when Lilly, the twentysomething dancer that Mark had dallied with, bursts into their apartment out of the snow, hoping to stay over." The play is Matt Morillo's comedic adaptation of Sleepover by Maria Micheles (2007). | |||||
