When 32-year-old Samantha wakes up with a hangover on 75-year-old Theodore's couch, the only logical way to navigate the situation is to pose as his caretaker. While discovering why she is there, Sam and Teddy form a strange yet wonderful bond. Sometimes people stumble into your life... and help heal you.
“You, Me, and Ennui is a play that will make you laugh like hell even as it sends off low-frequency waves of emotional resonance that touch your heart. Krantz's wry tender voice, the enviable ease with which she soft-shoes between irony and sincerity, is spellbinding. She takes care to imbue each one of her characters with a psychological texture that makes them feel achingly alive.” – Vishesh Abeyratne
“You, Me, and Ennui will lull you into a false sense of security in the opening pages. To be sure, the play begins with a bit of comedic hi-jinks, peppered with witty banter, to seduce you into believing that you are experiencing a breezy comedy … This opening romp quickly and effectively transitions into a complex drama tackling significant themes of family, love, friendship, age, and, of course, ennui (feline or otherwise!). Kara Krantz has carefully crafted four characters who will stay with you long after the final stage directions. Bravo!” – Carly Simowitz
You, Me, & Ennui is presented by special arrangement with Becoming More Productions.
