Westport Country Playhouse will present a Script in Hand playreading of a new romantic comedy, “BackTalk,” about first dates and second thoughts, on Monday, February 3, at 7 p.m. The play is written by Rob Ackerman and directed by Jeremy Webb.
"With Valentine’s Day just around the corner, I’m thrilled to introduce ‘BackTalk,’ a brand-new work by celebrated playwright Rob Ackerman, as part of our Script in Hand reading series,” said Mark Shanahan, Script in Hand curator and Playhouse artistic director. “Set against the backdrop of modern dating, ‘BackTalk’ is a witty and warm exploration of what happens when love makes you question everything—about yourself, your past, and your future.
“With sharp dialogue, laugh-out-loud moments, and plenty of heart, Rob’s play offers a witty and tender look at what it takes to quiet the noise and take a leap of faith when it comes to love. Director Jeremy Webb has assembled a truly perfect cast to deliver such a warm, romantic comedy on a chilly night in February at the Playhouse. What could be more fun?”
Tickets are $30. Running time is 90 minutes; no intermission. Age recommendation is 14 and up.
