Synopsis

EIGHT DAYS (BACKWARDS) travels in reverse order through the previous eight days in the lives of 13 urbanites as they navigate missed opportunities and surprise connections in pursuit of romance and revelation.

"EIGHT DAYS (BACKWARDS) is a breezy, psychologically precise and pleasantly dizzying ninety-minute set of interlocking New York sketches about power, relationships and the unknowable agonies of fate.

Jeremy Dobrish, who usually writes for his own adobe theater company, has created a series of light but sharply observed snapshots that, as the title says, work backward over eight days in the lives of eighteen casually and/or intimately related character ... this is a summer show-jaunty and clever enough to hit a few truths with impressive economy and a sense of possibility.

The characters have a range of class and age and, ultimately, we care enough about them to wish we could wan their future selves about what we know is ahead."

-Linda Winer, Newsday
