Coal Creek Theater of Louisville presents
Becky Shaw
by Gina Gionfriddo
Directed by Dan Schock
A newlywed couple plays matchmaker: wife's neurotic best friend, meet husband's strange new co-worker. What could go wrong? Everything, as it turns out. When the blind date takes a dark turn, the fallout forces everyone to confront uncomfortable questions about loyalty, class, and what we actually owe the damaged people who land on our doorstep. Is Becky a vulnerable soul in need of rescue — or something more dangerous? Gionfriddo's Pulitzer Prize finalist is ferociously funny and wickedly smart, a comedy of bad manners where the moral ground never stops shifting.
Run Time – 2 hours & 10 minutes with one 15-minute intermission
