Synopsis

Evie Malone – gamer girl, college senior, and confirmed virgin – has it all figured out.

Not only does she command a top-ranked guild in Warcraft with her online boyfriend; she also makes a little cash on the side writing love letters for people who've screwed up their relationships.

Love is like Warcraft, after all.

It's all about strategies, game plans, and not taking stupid risks.

Well, that's what she thinks... until she actually falls for a guy.

In real life.

No amount of gaming expertise will help her out when she finds herself with a non-virtual, totally real and incredibly cute boyfriend, who wants more from her than she's willing to give.

In Love and Warcraft can be performed with or without an intermission.

Press Reviews

"Shekar’s fun and energetic play, which won the Alliance’s annual Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Fellowship, is jaunty and fleet, the way a romantic comedy should be."
— Arts Atlanta

"In Love and Warcraft is a fresh look at the strange social behaviors spawned by internet culture, where love and loneliness spar like the masters and the monsters of the universe."
— The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
