Molly Goes Dancing

Written by Chloe Selavka

Directed by Natalie Weinberg

Synopsis

Molly is in the tenth circle of hell (in her mid-20s on dating apps), so in an effort to feel less lonely, she has summoned the imaginary figures of Fitzwilliam Darcy and George Wickham of Pride and Prejudice fame. Molly Goes Dancing is a silly, heartfelt, whimsical play about finding love in the modern world, and finding meaning when faced with the fact that all we really have at the end of the day is ourselves.
