Two actors. Five plays. One sexy night. Chiara Alik's smart comedy, Five Times In One Night, runs at Wellfleet Harbor Actors Theater June 27 to July 20.

Over the centuries, few things have wielded such power over mankind as the promise of a great romp between the sheets. Five Times In One Night wittily depicts couples discovering truths about themselves and each other while navigating the rocky terrain of romance. From Adam and Eve to the only humans left on a post-apocalyptic planet (with stops in the 12th century and the modern day) Five Times In One Night explores joy, excitement, danger, and disappointment in a funny and revealing quintet of short plays.
