Actually
by Anna Ziegler

"A taut, devastating play…a smart, profoundly painful exploration of a murky, treacherous sexual culture. ACTUALLY’s great strength, and its great heartbreak, is that it allows us to see both Amber and Tom so fully. ACTUALLY’s wit and intelligence are part of what makes the complex darkness at its center hit so hard. There is brightness in this play, and in these people, and to see its sparks overwhelmed by such fearful and familiar shadows is shattering. In moments, it’s even revelatory.” —New York Magazine “Gripping…the characters are beautifully rendered and complex… ACTUALLY is destined to trigger discussion.” —Los Angeles Times. “Ziegler's riveting drama…creates a portrait of a generation struggling to keep its balance…with consummate skill, the playwright assembles [an] intricate jigsaw puzzle…” —Boston Globe. “A psychologically complex and intentionally frustrating two-person drama…Ziegler’s meticulously detailed script is more than occasionally funny, despite its serious them"
