In Love And Warcraft

Signature Theatre
4200 Campbell Avenue Arlington

In this Washington, D.C. premiere, the worlds of online gaming and in person relationships collide in this up-to-the-minute comedy about straddling the real world and the virtual one. Evie Malone is a college student, a World of Warcraft master, and a virgin. She also makes a little extra cash by writing love letters for people who can’t quite manage their own real relationships. No amount of digital gaming expertise or even her virtual boyfriend can help her out when she finds herself with a handsome, non-virtual, boyfriend, who is ready to rock her worlds

"...It’s a familiar recipe, perhaps, but one that is extremely well realized here, thanks in part to terrific performances and brisk, ebullient pacing. Yadav fills Evie with endearing geekiness, revealing the character’s absurdities yet making her easy to identify with. Melendez finds plausible depth in dreamboat Raul, who develops an almost irrational hatred for the “Warcraft” universe. And Stoller ably exaggerates the eccentricities of Kitty, who talks in a pouty baby voice and at one point feels so sex-deprived that she finds relief in bouncing up and down on a chair."

"...In Love and Warcraft is a hip, ripe show perfect for a whole new generation of theatre-goers. No, it is not going to make you rethink the nature of the universe or re-configure your hard drive with a whole new set of life goals, but this show will remind everyone that the power of life resides not in its ecstasies but in its intimacies."

MD Theatre Guide - Recommended

"...A Washington DC area premiere, In Love and Warcraft by Madhuri Shekar is an engaging, well-constructed, satiric romantic comedy skillfully acted and briskly staged by the No Rules Theatre Company under Joshua Morgan’s able direction. While an endearing, cute love story, at the same time the play mocks the artificial, unromantic worlds of the emotionally-vapid denizens of hooking up and the escapist glued-to-the-screen addicts of computer games. The game here is World of Warcraft, a current global sensation with some ten million players in which one becomes a glamorous, powerful avatar and duels with monsters. Engrossing, it sucks people in."

DCTheatreScene - Recommended

A tense build-up; a long-anticipated entry; desperate shouting of instructions; begging for supernatural aid; an explosive climax; a satisfied finish. Depicting all the passion of a major raid against a difficult monster in the online multiplayer game World of Warcraft (WoW), the first scene of No Rules Theatre Company’s DC premiere is a collision between romance and fantasy combat, heartfelt pleas and argot-filled cacophony, broad sex humor and genuinely human connection.
