New Writing, True-life

The Archives of the Hopeless Romantic

This semi-autobiographical one-woman play adapted from Sophia Marie George’s debut book follows a woman researcher as she enters into the archives of a romantic. What initially seems to be a mere academic endeavor soon turns darker as the reasoning for her being there is revealed. Taking its audience from her hometown of Los Angeles to her studies and travels in Washington, DC, London, Dublin, Oxford, Venice and other cities, this show traces the relationship between a young woman and the formative men of her life.
