Synopsis

1M, 3W This romantic comedy employs twelve scenes to reveal a relationship that spans an entire nighttime, because: A) with the way the world is speeding up now-a-days, a nighttime is really what a lifetime used to be: B) HE's busy, and: C) SHE's in a rush.

Lisa Loomer's ACCELERANDO... puts a refreshing new spin on the familiar theme of looking for love in all the wrong (or possibly right ) places.

This author's gift is an ability to treat her subject and subjects sympathetically while at the same time sticking them with keenly honed comic barbs.

Press Reviews

The word holds richer potency for a ballet dancer recovering from a broken foot, intent on finding true love by dawn on this particular New Year's Eve…Lisa Loomer's delightfully kinky romantic comedy ACCELERANDO…is inventive and absorbing…His mystical approach to life…bounces joyfully off her matter-of-fact belief in the romantic power of legal bonding.“ —Los Angleles Times. ”Lisa Loomer's ACCELERANDO…puts a refreshing new spin on the familiar theme of looking for love in all the wrong (or possibly right) places…[the] Author's gift is an ability to treat her subject and subjects sympathetically while at the same time sticking them with keenly honed comic barbs.“ —Variety. ”ACCELERANDO…is a carefree, unconventional and funny play."
