Polo

Directed by Lana Michelle Hughes.

An AirBnB furnished all in white. A relationship stretched thin and ready to break. An unexpected visitor from the apartment upstairs will change both forever.

Clem and Gray are travelling to a wedding neither of them wants to attend. When they finally reach their AirBnB, they discover a few things their host didn’t mention— first, it’s in the middle of nowhere. Second— it’s all white: the carpets, the furniture, everything down to the food in the fridge is white. And third— something very, very disturbing is going on in the apartment above them. As Clem and Gray argue about how deeply they should get involved, their fight becomes increasingly violent, and it’s unclear whether they or their relationship will survive the evening.

A very, VERY bloody romantic comedy in reverse, the play explores the ways our relationships indelibly mark us, and how our presence in each others’ lives, however brief, can never be truly erased.
