Highlights
Synopsis
NERVE is a dark comedy about falling into a relationship on the first date.
Elliot has never had an online date before at least not one that showed up.
Susan has had far too many but would prefer not to discuss them.
When they meet in a bar one night, all their personality flaws are revealed, along with a puppet, some modern dance and a desperation that may or may not be love.
Press Reviews
"…sweet, sexy, neurotic friendly.” —The New York Times. “…frequently laugh-out-loud funny, and in the end a neat little demonstration, if you needed one, of how much better live theatre can be than TV or movies when it comes to convincingly recreating human relationships in all their delicious complexity.” —Gothamist. ”With NERVE, playwright Adam Szymkowicz ventures into the minefield that is online dating and emerges with a wickedly entertaining and darkly comic romance. Cyber-dating may be rife with tales of nightmarish encounters with neurotics and sociopaths, Szymkowicz seems to say, but don't sociopaths deserve love, too? Anyone who sees NERVE will be inclined to say yes."
