60 MINUTE ONE-ACT (MIXED MEDIA): Con and Edie are rooftopping the tallest building in the City. Are the epic thrills and selfies worth the risk of dying, getting arrested, and maybe even losing their relationship? Why do they do this shit anyway?

    This site-specific work is unlike any play on NPX! The playwright takes risks with an exploration of space, time, relationships and language, exploring emotions at extreme exposure that it just as surprising as the rooftopping of its characters. And it's unapologetically queer and sexy and raw. I haven't read a play that sounded like this one before. Loved it! Check it out!

    Look, sometimes illegally climbing a huge ass building is less scary than facing your feelings. Assaf’s two-hander is absolutely brilliant, gifting actors and designers with a complex, nuanced queer relationship and a daunting, thrilling playground to place it in. The back-and-forth structure of live action to recorded video gives found-footage vibes in the coolest way, making the pacing as addicting as rooftopping itself. If you’re into any of the above, you will definitely be into this play.

    This play is an evocative, high-stakes collage about a complex relationship between two flawed (yet insanely lovable) characters who feel vital and lived-in from page one. Their journeys, both internal and external, are non-stop and riveting—the structure, broken up with recorded scenes from their recent history, from most recent to least, keeps audiences engaged as they piece together the story behind the story. Simplistic but challenging, the set would be a designer's dream. Incredible!
