STUNT is a play about the past.

About how it doesn’t really go away.

About how it bleeds into the present in ways we can’t control and hardly notice. 

About how it isn’t even individual, because one person’s past can affect a completely different person’s present every single day, if that other person is close enough.

STUNT is a play about Luke and his (ex)girlfriend Jenny.

And his high-school math teacher Clara.

Who he loved.

Who Jenny wants to write about.

Who never really left.

STUNT is a play about all the ways that Luke’s relationship with Clara at age fifteen colors his relationship with Jenny, ten years later.  About how his refusal to see what really happened between them means that Clara will always be around the edges of his life, in a way that Jenny doesn’t completely understand until it’s way too late.

STUNT is a play about what happens when you lose your virginity to your high school math teacher and then try to have a normal relationship with someone your own age a decade later.  Oh, and it moves backward.

It’s not not pretty.
