Description
2m, 12f / Drama Anon is the story of two relationships as one struggles to begin and the other struggles to continue. A darkly comedic contemporary romantic tragedy, the play addresses the hunger for sexual intimacy in a culture of addiction. As Allison tries to mold Trip into the kind of man she wishes could love her, Rachelle fights to preserve the illusion that Bert, her husband of thirty-five years, is the kind of man she can love. Inevitably interwoven from the start, these two journeys intensify as they increasingly affect and ultimately collide with each other. Surrounding the central action of the play is a chorus of women speaking at a meeting for the partners of sex addicts. These monologues are called "qualifications" in the language of AA/SA/Al-Anon/S-Anon.) Allison and Rachelle's relationship to this chorus gradually becomes clear as they are moved by the events of the play toward a reckoning with these voices and the journey they all share. "a savvy, honest drama about sexual addiction" - The New York Times "an intriguing work from the Six Feet Under alumni association comes from the show's writer-co-producer Kate Robin. In Anon., she finds a way-and I mean this as a compliment-to write a play about sex addiction that doesn't try to be sexy.
