This play, darkly funny and painfully romantic, is full of ethical dilemmas. It was written by Lia Romeo, author of RTE's 2010 World Premiere hit Right Place, Right Time.
Karen Wilson is a normal thirty-eight year-old woman—she's mourning her mother's death, dealing with an alcoholic sister, has a history of romantic disasters, and holds a fulfilling job as a university professor. Except—she has a genetic disease that makes her look thirteen years old. Every man she has ever dated gets creeped out, so she finds herself perpetually dateless.
When her sister sets her up with an intelligent, available man who may just have an attraction to younger girls, she faces the dilemma: let him believe she's thirteen, and find a few moments of romantic bliss, or tell him the truth, and risk pushing him away.
How does our outward appearance hide our true inner identities? And when the two are so different, how can one woman find a true connection with someone? Don't miss this truly unconventional love story!
Advisory: RTE Rating: 13+. This play contains themes for more mature audiences. It may contain some profanity, violence or brief nudity, but these elements should not be too intense for most audiences. That being said, some material may not be appropriate for everyone and we recommend this theatrical experience for audience members ages 13 years old and up.
