Is Edward Snowden Single?

by Kate Cortesi

Much like the US government, two BFFS find themselves in a crisis of integrity, whatever the hell THAT means.
Two actresses and an adorable amorous puppet play all twenty roles in this whirlwind play about pretty lies and ugly truths.

    I feel like the terms "tour de force role" or "bravura part" get thrown around a bit but this play really epitomizes the concept, a pair of actresses take on the world, each other, memory, truth, and just a dollop of prescient geo-politics in this riotous and, ultimately, carefully-wrought study of friendship and what it means to actually, actually, no like ACTUALLY know another person. Plus: great part for a puppet.

There's an opportunity for a puppet operated by a fourth human on stage, or else the actress playing Mimi could do it.
