WILL YOU PLEASE SHUT UP?
By Dan O’Brien
Featuring Molly B. Thomas and
Thomas Dodge Wheatley.
Directed by Jack Boyle
What happens when the person you once loved becomes the person you can barely stand?
When former lovers Sylvia and Tom unexpectedly reunite on a New York City subway after years apart, their encounter sets the stage for a sharp, darkly comedic exploration of love, heartbreak, and human connection.
Told in reverse, Will You Please Shut Up? takes the audience on a journey through the unraveling of a relationship, peeling back the layers of resentment, intimacy, and misunderstandings to reveal the love that once brought two people together.
Written by acclaimed playwright and Guggenheim Fellow Dan O’Brien, whose award-winning work includes, The Body of an American and The House in Scarsdale, this one-act comedy offers a witty, provocative, and deeply human look at the absurdities of modern relationships.
Presented by Meadow Spring Productions, this intimate staged reading stars Molly B. Thomas as Sylvia, and Thomas Dodge Wheatley as Tom, under the direction of Jack Boyle. Together, they bring O’Briens compelling exploration of relationships, memory and the complexities of human connection to the stage.
