In this show, there are two rounds of questions where the friends of single participants come up on stage to answer game-show-style questions on their behalf, helping them “win” a date. The questions range from romantic ones to silly and playful topics.
This show runs like a collection of vignettes, almost, circling themes of desire, family, identity and suffering; a woman both going through the motions and drowning under the weight of her unspoken screams.
