A series of short plays that examines the way we communicate with each other, from a first date where the pickup lines keep getting changed by the ringing of a bell, to three monkeys who have been left in a room to write Hamlet. There's the story of a shy young woman who learns a new language to help get her out of her shell, and the story of a guy whose day seems to be going wrong in every way possible. Six of the funniest plays ever written, all presented in one fast-paced evening. Come see the plays that made David Ives (Venus in Fur) one of the most revered playwrights in America.

Featuring: Thomas William Shaw, Jasmine Cotrell, Victoria Smith, Amy Light, Reagan
Dickey, Meg Young, Joseph Bodkin, Mary Katherine Bushnell, Tobi Awe, Chuck Evans, Matthew Whaley, Annalisa Keuler, Sam Smith, Lee J. Green, Tonya Marshall, Andrew Willmore, Catherine Oseas, and Joel Reyes

David Ives is perhaps best known for his evening of one-act plays, ALL IN THE TIMING (he has been included in the “Best Short Plays” series seven times), and for his drama VENUS IN FUR, which was nominated for a Tony Award for Best Play. His plays include NEW JERUSALEM: THE INTERROGATION OF BARUCH DE SPINOZA; THE SCHOOL FOR LIES (adapted from Molière’s THE MISANTHROPE); THE LIAR (adapted from Corneille); TIME FLIES; and IS HE DEAD? (adapted from Mark Twain). He has also translated Feydeau’s A FLEA IN HER EAR and Yasmina Reza’s A SPANISH PLAY. A former Guggenheim Fellow in playwriting and a graduate of The Yale School of Drama, he lives in New York City.
