Hugo, obsessed with perfection, decides on cartography as his next project. Hamlin, his roommate, can only pack Hugo’s lunchbox on his brief returns home, which are becoming less and less frequent. Connor Geary’s A Perfect Map of Everything manifests the irrational, all-consuming, heartbreaking lengths a person will go to get someone to love them back.

    A charming, touching, and deeply meaningful play, A PERFECT MAP OF EVERYTHING works on several levels all at once; by turns very funny and heartbreaking — often at the same time — I defy anyone not to fall in love with Hugo and Hamlin and root for them against all (the considerable) odds. Wonderful work!

    "A Perfect Map of Everything", winner of the Dominion Stages Playwriting Competition in Arlington, VA, is a delightful and fantastical insight into human relationships. On the surface, the play is a whimsical fable, but the deeper emotional core will resonate long after you finish reading this play. Hamlin and Hugo are heartbreaking and deceptively-complex characters that are thrills to explore. I look forward to reading more plays by the emerging talent Connor Geary.
