Synopsis

How does a computer scientist hook up with a molecular biologist?

He blinds her with science of course.

When Elliot builds a computer program to help Molly with her research project the variables in their evolving relationship shift as rapidly as the terms of their experiment.

This deft and imaginative new ROM-comedy shows that even the most sophisticated algorithm may freeze in the face of life's infinite possibilities.

Press Reviews

"A funny, ridiculously smart new play. I haven't seen another play recently that so perfectly captured love — hot-blooded, fearless, fickle"
— at this stage of life." - Bloomberg News

"Four stars. Nerd-sweet, incredibly seductive, and wonderfully generous."
— Time Out New York

"Moses has Aaron Sorkin's ear, and his gift for sorting Big Ideas into witty epigrams and human scale exchanges. A brash and brainy but ultimately honest and body-temperature portrait. It's about faith and data in an OK Cupid world."
— New York Magazine
