Becky Shaw

Written by Gina Gionfriddo, Becky Shaw is about a blind date gone bad. The play centres on what happens when newlyweds Suzanna and Andrew set up Suzanna's lifelong best friend, the sharp-tongued money manager Max, with Andrew's romantically-challenged, seemingly fragile co-worker, Becky. From the moment that Becky arrives overdressed for her blind date with straight-talking Max Garrett, it is clear the evening is unlikely go to plan. In the immediate fallout, Becky becomes an object of devotion for her boss Andrew, who appears to have a fetish for vulnerable women. In turn Andrew’s wife Suzanna turns to her step-brother Max for comfort, and their mutual desire begins to resurface.
