Maude can’t stop itching. Lou is almost, sort of, maybe ready to tell her he loves her. But first he needs to know: can she handle it?

What unfolds is a funny, tender, and offbeat one-act that leaps forward in time as Maude sidesteps Lou’s love with desperation and increasingly ridiculous excuses. As Lou waits and Maude flails, "The Itch" digs into the fear of intimacy, the weight of vulnerability, and how hard it can be to accept love when it starts to feel like surrender. A two hander with absurdist comedic beats and a deep emotional core.
