The best laid schemes oft go awry. Max, a cynical straight-talking financier, and Becky, highly strung and self-doubting, are hardly a perfect match. When Suzanne (Catherine Moore) and Andrew (Matthew Zeremes) set Max up on a date with Becky, no one could have predicted the horrifyingly hilarious outcomes.

Sweet, funny and sharp, BECKY SHAW is peppered with moments of schadenfreude as the variously dysfunctional characters careen towards the implosive finale.

"When I first read Becky Shaw I just wanted to put down the script and jump right into rehearsals, I was so excited. What struck me the most was the writing - it was almost like a new language, Gina Gionfriddo is so sparkly and crackly and contemporary. She writes for TV’s Law and Order and I think that element of suspense is built so beautifully into this piece that it just draws you in and doesn’t let you go."
DIRECTOR ANNA CRAWFORD

“It’s a long time since I enjoyed a new play more than Becky Shaw.”
TELEGRAPH REVIEW, LONDON

“A corker of a new play...a tangled tale of love, sex and ethics among a quartet of men and women in their 30’s is as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and cracking across the stage.”
NEW YORK TIMES

“Astute, acerbic and richly funny comedy.”
THE GUARDIAN, LONDON
