Named Time Magazine’s #1 Play of the Year in 2000, Boy Gets Girl is a searing examination of a loss of personal freedom that arises from a seemingly benign situation. Award-winning contemporary playwright Rebecca Gilman presents a frightening, true-to-life look at the dangers that can lie in wait for those searching for love. After an awkward blind date, Theresa Bedell sees no reason to continue the relationship, but the man thinks otherwise. Annoyed but flattered by his continuing attention, Theresa’s attitude changes to one of fear and fury when his devotion rapidly turns to menace. As Theresa’s world begins to spin out of control, her friends and co-workers provide support as they are drawn into her nightmare. Ultimately, Theresa must fight to save herself from being erased by Tony’s actions – actions that call into question the assumptions at the very heart of romantic pursuit.
