Already a hit in London and on Broadway, it explores the infinite possibilities of “boy meets girl” with heart, intelligence and humor. It was praised by the New York Times as “the most sophisticated date play Broadway has ever seen.” The play is in good hands with TheatreWorks founding director Robert Kelley at the helm. This nerdy love tale is sure to warm the cardiovascular system.
