  • Stephen Kaplan: Connected by Lia Romeo

    This play constantly surprised me in how the eponymous connections occur. Touching, hilarious, devastating...these characters are recognizable and truly human. And the worlds that we are brought into are ones that resonate even if they're unfamiliar - through her clear writing, Lia makes them familiar. I had the privilege of seeing a production and it still stays with me, even months afterwards - the mark of a strong and effective piece.

    I love this play and many of Lia's other plays. She is an incredible writer who builds plays with rich characters, exciting narratives, lots of humor and (at the same time) explores bigger themes about the world we live in. I saw Connected in production and loved how she weaves very personal stories together in the context of the bigger issue of how to live in a 24/7 wired world. Bravo Lia!

    I highly recommend this play to theatres looking for a great take about what it means to live in the era of the Internet and Social Media.

    Romeo's play exposes the truth that while these technologies can often "connect" us to one another, in many ways they leave us more isolated than ever in history.

    I've seen a production and reading of this play, and both times the laughs were enough. The author makes you think without ever preaching or commenting. Highly recommend.

    Four interwoven stories that paint a comprehensive picture of Internet connectivity--the good, the bad, the seamy, the false starts, the false fame, the fantasies, and realities--that will leave you wondering about the quality of your own relationship with the Internet, and with other people. And oh yeah, really funny, too. Great read!

    I had the pleasure of being in a reading of this elegantly simple and profound play. Ms. Romeo captures where technology has taken us and where it will keep us for the foreseeable future in real ways with young characters who sound as if they were walking down the halls of a high school. She captures our tangled and complex relationship with technology (and therefore each other) and the equally complex language we use to navigate the obstacle-ridden path to understanding our need for technology and ultimately each other.
