LONG DISTANCE, written, directed, & produced by ELI ZUZOVSKY, featuring JONATHAN RUBIN & LEWIS MERRYLEES, comes to Edinburgh next month. Performances run 2-25 August.
THE PLAY
Two young queers meet. They fall in love, have sex, fight, make up, and break up – and all through texting. Their texts, dramatised like poetry, paint a portrait of an unforgettable relationship.
Developed through Soho Theatre Labs, LONG DISTANCE dives into the empty space between us and our desperate attempts to fill it up. A funny, heart-breaking new play about the daily work of love, technological despair, and the long distance that exists in every relationship these days.
