Beloved Dave

by Daniel Hirsch

Dave’s lonely days are finally over: he’s fallen for a lovely young woman named Sophie. The only problem: Sophie may not be a lovely young woman at all. Her real identity could destroy Dave and—given his not-so insignificant job— may have grave repercussions on nothing less than global security and world peace.

    This play is a marvelous, searing portrait of forbidden love and the roles we make ourselves play to finally be ourselves. It'll make you laugh and then it'll make you cry as you follow's Dave's descent into an internet romance that becomes a political powder keg and a personal (and international) reckoning. Love. Someone produce this ASAP.

    This play presents as an intriguing high stakes mystery, but its power comes from a profound investigation of love. It delves into not just romantic and sexual love, but also the too often neglected bonds between siblings.

    It's got the deft gender play of M. Butterfly without the problematics.
