In Rehearsal
Alison Vodnoy
Imagine Love - in all its Terrible Beauty
SHOW DESCRIPTION
This one-woman show will make you laugh, cry, and realize why you keep fucking up relationships. Alison Vodnoy portrays Akiva, who recounts her exploits dating people ranging from a Repressed Republican to a Nice Jewish Girl. As she oscillates between addressing the audience and kibitzing with her shrink, she bounds back and forth between abstract and every day movement. Then, Vodnoy transforms into each man and recounts the other point of view. After all, in relationships, there may be no right or wrong: but there are always two sides to the story.

'AND THE FRINGIEST PART IS ...'
The protangonist's physical expression bounces back and forth between realism and an abstract dance. And Alison Vodnoy plays two women...not to mention six men.
