About the event

🌌 Why would two strangers sitting on a bench at 2am just start talking?

This touching debut follows two students as they navigate their challenges in opening up to each other. It explores the awkward comedy and profound intimacy that can arise during those fleeting conversations with a stranger. Through flirting, fighting, and fumbling, they traverse the tightrope of social norms and personal boundaries, discussing their outlook on the future, mental health struggles, and the circumstances that led them to sit on a bench in the middle of the night.

πŸ‘¨β€πŸŽ€ He is a quick-witted and jovial pessimist, while πŸ‘©β€πŸŽ€ she embodies a distrusting, cynical optimist. Together, they reveal both the ugliest and most tender parts of each other, highlighting that enduring the silence that follows can be the hardest part of opening up to a stranger.

In this charming one-act, two-hander, themes of loneliness, self-discovery, and the challenging transition into adulthood are explored.
