‘Sex With Strangers’
The two-person play, which premiered in 2011 at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre, centers on Olivia, a critically underappreciated novelist pushing 40, and Ethan, a hunky 20-something blog-to-book sensation who's topped The New York Times best-seller list by detailing his sexual exploits with strangers. "Although they're only 11 years apart, their relationship with technology, their age group aligns very differently with the Internet — I was interested in exploring this moment in time and what intimacy means now," playwright and House of Cards story editor Laura Eason told THR.
