Ever
notice that "love" is a four-letter word? Why
does it sometimes feel like more
of a curse than a blessing? On
The Rocks explores the
story of four people who are all trying to answer the same question and
end up
discovering who they are along the way.
The story unfolds over
the
course of one
evening as Mia and Rene, best friends and co-workers,
meet in a cafe
for a
final farewell before Mia leaves for grad school the following morning.
On the
same night, Greg and David
are two strangers who accidentally meet at a
bar and
discover they have more in common than they think. As the night
progresses, we
see
exactly how all four lives intersect and the conflict
each character must
face in order to move forward with his or her life.
A
funny and
touching play,
writers Dina Laura and Mina Radharkrishnan remind us that whether we
are a rock
musician, a lawyer, or a Wall Street businesswoman, having a broken
heart doesn't
make us broken - it just makes us human.
