OTHER PEOPLE tells the story of three ambitious young New Yorkers who struggle with sex, desir
e and their art over Christmas in the East Village. Stephen is a frustrated "blurb writer" and aspiring playwright waiting to hear about a grant. Petra is Stephen's roommate, a wannabe writer who has recently returned from working as a stripper in Japan. Mark is Stephen's ex, a successful screenwriter fresh out of rehab, now a born again Christian crashing on Stephen and Petra's couch and struggling with his attraction to a mysterious young hustler named Tan. What ensues is a heartfelt and hilarious look at love, sex and friendship.
The production is directed by Dora Nominee
Aaron Willis, one of the creators of the hit shows
Yichud and
The Gladstone Variations, who, together with Julie Tepperman, was named one of "Toronto's most respected theatre duos" by NOW Magazine.
