My Love Was Stolen By A Con Man!

In a society not so different from our own, paper money/currency as we know it has been erased and replaced with “love transactions.” The more love you give, the less wealth you’ll have, and the more love you take, the more wealth you’ll have. Enter Kevin, a 28 year old con man who has found the secret to getting rich quick! Will he stay a con forever, or will love get him in the end?

My Love Was Stolen By A Con Man!

    This play was incredibly funny, heartfelt, and clever. It had a room of people laughing, gasping, and throwing up (unrelated but did happen). The nuances of the story ties to an age old lesson. It flows between the absurd and the grounded masterfully.

    Sullivan has written a complicated and unique world in this play. Loved how Kevin evolves over the course of this play.

    A stroke of true artistic power is tying Kevin's manipulation to capitalism — a sort of masculinization, and sexualization of the urge to accrue vast amounts of wealth. Another is that Kevin doesn't make problematic and offensive jokes — he purposefully avoids them to present himself as squeaky clean as possible. The fact that this guy's favorite band is Weezer lets you know that Kelsey Sullivan just fucking gets it. Just when I thought it couldn't get any better, a spider appears and starts spitting "Worm Teeth" era bars. Sullivan is one of the biggest risk-takers I've read on here.
