Intimacy Coordinator

The Sickness of Wanting

A one act play about desire, intimacy, and allowing one’s self to reach beneath the facade of casual romantic connection. It follows two men who, very briefly, grab hold of their true wanting by baring themselves to one another over the course of one night. Together they discover a hope they had both—in their own ways—long since let go of.
