| Control Freaks in Love
by Rick Vorndran |
Under St. Mark's Theater 94 St. Mark's Place February 14-16 and 21-23, 2000 at 8:00 pm |
Control Freaks in Love looks at the complexity, weirdness and sometimes just plain stupidity of modern relationships between women and men in their late 20's.
Barb and Steve have lived together for the last three years. But everything changes when their fun-loving friends Larry and Linda come over for a visit. When both couples decide to break up and "try dating other people", it leads to unexpected -- and often hilarious -- results.
As a fun stylistic hook, Control Freaks in Love is not a straightforward narrative. Rather, it's a series of 11 short vignettes, each one featuring at least one of the lead characters. In one, Barb gets taken to a "self-help" flirting conference. In another, smart-ass Larry takes on the great manipulator himself - Niccolo Machiavelli - in a contest of picking up women. And those are the "normal" stories!
Control Freaks in Love is the ninth production of the Dysfunctional Theatre, who were responsible for such shows as IL DUCE: The Rudy Giuliani Story, and the long-running ALIEN SEX CULT CLONES MADONNA.
