BECKY SHAW IN PHILADELPHIA

If you want a good laugh, a show that serves meaning, Becky Shaw is the perfect pick for you! This fantastic play is under the direcion of Obie award winner Anne Kauffman and Obie award winning playwright Gina Gionfriddo (writer and producer of “Law & Order.)”

Suzanna sets up her best friend Max on a blind date with Becky, her husbands mysterious co-worker; a chain of catastrophes is inadvertently set in motion, forever changing their lives. The play is cutting and witty, and so suspenseful that it feels like a psychological thriller. The show is charming and romantic, yet completely thrilling leaving viewers on the edge of their seats always wondering what will happen next.

The show was very fresh and displayed the most incredible modern interpertation of what a show is. It almost felt as if we were watching a live taping of a sitcom, as part of the studio audience.  This show is definitely a posh pick and I highly recommend you see it!

If we could describe the show in five words, they would be: bubbly, real, humorous, dramatic, and mouth-watering (leaves you craving for what’s next).

Previously set to close January 31, the Wilma theatre has recently announced their extension of the show through February 7. Tickets are $36 – $65 and are available by calling the Wilma Box Office at (215) 546-7824 or online at www.wilmatheater.org. Student tickets are available for $10, depending on date and time, made possible by a grant from PNC Arts Alive.
