The Active Theater - New York, NY

July 14 - August 2, 2009
written by Jennie Contuzzi
directed by Nathaniel Shaw

Everyone has needs they just can’t seem to stop telling Mary about. Mike needs a wife. Harold needs a secretary. Theo needs a victim. But what Mary needs, she dare not say.

A play about the line between who we are,
and what we will admit to.

THE CRITICS

"As a modern female playwright, Contuzzi takes a very complex issue and brings it to light against the backdrop of suburban America. She also incorporates the many different layers behind self-abuse, both emotional and physical, such as the lengths some people with go for a cathartic release not provided by mainstream society. All the elements of a truly heavy piece of theater are here."
