Contractions

Contractions

Studio Theatre
1501 14th St. NW Washington

Inspired by real-life "love clauses" that dictate the nature and extent of office relationships, Contractions is an ink-black satire written by award-winning British playwright Mike Bartlett (Cock). The show, which is making its U.S. premiere at the Studio Theatre, finds Emma and her manager in a series of cordial but increasingly tense conversations about the differences between "sexual" and "romantic," the allowable length of her interoffice relationship and the reality of a world ruled by binding contracts and shrinking privacy. Duncan Macmillan directs.
