Shared Intimacy: Underground

Synopsis:
What happens when three playwrights, three actors, and a director are given two weeks to create a thirty minute play about a relationship that is falling apart in a very public place? Most of us have seen and/or participated in very publicly displayed private-moments in NYC. Whether it's the couple making out on the subway, or the couple arguing in the street, our sharing intimate moments with strangers is almost unavoidable. In this site specific play, a small audience follows a couple as they come to the brink of a break-up during their commute. Whether the couple will remain together or not is a decision that hangs in the balance in a very public way.
