This play is a revelation. "this party sucks" takes the manic-pixie-dream girl/guy trope and flips it on its head. This play is an act of violence: it's sexy, it's gritty, it's mean, it's funny, it's romantic. Through a collection of scenes in and around a hotel room, Levitsky-Weitz doesn't only shed light on three incredibly nuanced humans grappling with celebrity, fame, addiction, love, and jealousy; but she gives us an entire diorama of the history of their relationships. We need more of this in theatre right now: plays that are messy. Life isn't well-made, so why should plays be? ”
