There exists this long-standing unscientific notion... a stereotype that has never truly been proven. Yet time and again, the behavioral pattern is constantly corroborated-in the school yard, in office cubicles, and even in the dating pool: ultra-smart, highly intelligent people are somehow, coincidentally, the most socially-awkward citizens within a given population. And when it comes to communicating about love... well, let's just say that (often anyway) these bright, brilliant minds are surprisingly out of touch, ineffective and emotionally obtuse. Their confidence in the classroom or in the lab somehow dissolves once emotion gets in the way. Such is the supposition posed by Julia Cho's effectively thought-provoking world premiere play THE LANGUAGE ARCHIVE, now on stage at South Coast Repertory (thru April 25). A comedy masquerading as a complex series of dramatic acts of miscommunications, the play sets out to illustrate the perception that people-especially seemingly smart ones-may have amazing dictionaries in their brains, but their owners can't seem to get them to open up its pages once matters of the heart enter the picture.

The Language Archive, written by Julia Cho will be running through April 25 at the South Coast Repertory Theatre. Recipient of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize, the show features Leo Marks, Betsy Brandt, Laura Heisler, Tony Amendola and Linda Gehringer.
