Tittle:Boy Gets Girls.
A Play By: Rebecca Gilman
What is a stalker?And what kind of life can a woman lead when she knows she is being followed, obsessively and perhaps dangerous, by one?
This is the dilemma fecing Theresa Bedell, a reporter in New York, in Rebecca Gilman's tensely
fascinating new play when Theresa goes on an awkward blind date with a friend of a friend
she sees no reason to continue the relationship-but the man, an attractive fellow named tony,
thinks otherwise while Theresa is at first annoyed yet flattered by his continuing attention,
her attitude gradually changes to one of fear and fury when he starts violently to menace her and those around her. It brilliantly delineating the kind of terror a woman in full control of her
life feels when everything around her suddenly seems to be threat. Gilman probes the dark side of relationships in the 1990's with the rich insight and compelling characterizations that have distinguished her earlier plays and made her one of the most exciting young plays working today.
