WORLD premiere
WRITTEN BY MICHAEL PERLMAN. PRODUCED BY broken nose theatre.
FEBRUARY - MARCH 2016 @ THE DEN THEATRE
“Highly Recommended! An approachable, insightful, and charming production. I enjoyed every minute of it...”
Newly single after a break-up that caught her off-guard, Sam realizes that her now-ex-boyfriend of five years was the only guy she’d ever known… in the biblical sense. For so long, she had placed sex on a pedestal, only to now find herself alone. In a crappy apartment. In a new city. The key to breaking out and moving on? Kick over the pedestal. A PHASE is a hilarious World Premiere that takes the well-worn tropes of the “girl finds fulfillment in a man” story and flips them on their ear, as Sam explores sex as a way of regaining control of her life.
“Spenser Davis’s direction for Broken Nose Theatre is clever and efficient, and so are the performances... The dialogue is buoyant...”
“Captures exactly how people talk to the point that it occasionally feels like you’re eavesdropping on the conversations happening onstage.”
