casual encounters

A woman places an ad on Craigslist because she has a unique desire: to be in a fight, the ultimate loss of control. Another woman replies and agrees, begging the question: can violence be used as therapy?

This is a beautifully written and acted show about old wounds, dark places, and what we do to heal ourselves. A successful CFO in the family business, Polly finds she can no longer live the life her father dictates. A Craig’s List ad brings her together in an abandoned theater with Moira — a woman full of life, and further along in her healing than Polly, but with her own untold history of pain. The female “Fight Club” that ensues is funny, touching and cathartic. Nora Montanu0342ez and Georgia Hallman are outstanding. A must see.
