ABOUT THE PLAY
Ethan, a young blogger-turned bestselling author, meets Olivia, a struggling thirty-something novelist, in this funny and thought-provoking drama. Playwright Laura Eason (Netflix's "House of Cards") explores the complicated new world in which every past relationship lives forever on the web, providing an entertaining, up-to-date take on love in the digital age.
THE DESIGN PROCESS
Director Katherine Carter and team highlight the fast-paced digital world in this contemporary play. By using driving, electronic music, we ushered these characters through their whirlwind romance onstage. Contrasting the realistic sets and clothes, Beth used a cinematic approach to music choices which punctuated both action and mood.
All music is used as a dramatic tool, and not owned by Beth Lake.
