Play Actually

A story about the way people represent and, on occasion, misrepresent themselves, with a focus on dating and the myriad of foolish games and little fakeries that it entails. Part of the Revolutions International Theatre Festival.

The satire is both absurdist and accurate. Tim Monley and Katy Houska portray every game as equally ridiculous, every player as both pretentious and vulnerable. With their clowning skills – for all their affected coyness, both have studied at the Philippe Gaulier school – and irrepressible energy, they make every scene zing.
