About this event

Two people. One couch. The most intimate play you’ll see this year.

Direct from Sold-Out Run in NYC and the National Opera House of Ireland, Spoons deep-dives into the post-pandemic comic challenge of finding human connection.

They form a fragile bond over the course of their sessions, as they struggle with their fears, biases, and preconceived ideas about friendship. A meditation on loneliness, recovery, and trust, Spoons takes a deep dive into the chaos of seeking companionship in our lonely age. We hope to see you there!
