Ever been racially slurred in the sack? Ever been subjected to strangers yelling at you at 3am about the most intimate details of your life? Ever been to New York? Peter Ackerman’s screwball bedroom comedy follows three pairs of lovers trying to enjoy a night of romance. Tackling questions about sex and the proper balance between intellectual and physical attraction, Things You Shouldn’t Say Past Midnight is a romp about communication, honesty, identity, and how we define – and talk about — ourselves.
DC Theatre Scene Review
“Wolfson and Innocenti are deliciously comfortable in their acting skins and expertly navigate the journey between full-throttle exposure and embarrassed privacy.”
Broadway World Review
“All of the couples are perfectly matched and Ackerman’s script seems to unite them with a common theme, value or trait.”
TheaterMania Review
“The entire cast is superb. … Director Colin Smith keeps the play moving at the dizzy pace required to make the constant barrage of jokes and comments fly together into a slurry of silliness.”
