Don't You Dare Love Me
This fall Macha Monkey presents the world premiere of
Dont You Dare Love Me
by Keri Healey
directed by Carol Roscoe October 24th November 22nd 2008
Performing at Monkeys new home in Belltown, 2222 2nd Ave #200 Seattle, WA 98121
A story about late night phone calls, blind dates, compromising threesome negotiations, and other mishaps of Seattle dating.
Critically-acclaimed playwright Keri Healey takes on matters of the heart in non-committal single Seattle in her darkly funny play, Dont You Dare Love Me.
Everyone in this play wants desperately to fall in love. Only shy customer service agent Glen makes the first move, and for his trouble, is roundly rejected but refuses to take no for an answer. Kirk is a real estate agent looking for home in empty houses, while Evan wants perhaps too much of a good thing, and CJ hides from romance behind an alcoholic brother and a mountain of self-doubt. Paige is a sage but slippery barkeep leaving broken hearts behind her, and Tristan is caught between the fantasies of his past and the undeniable reality that will come from his next kiss.
Part comedy, part tragedy. Just like all relationships.
"[Playwright]Healey captures lust and grief with the same unflinching eloquence." - The Stranger
