If I Needed Someone The World Premiere of a New Play by Neil LaBute
City Garage is excited to announce the world premiere of a new play by Neil LaBute, “If Needed Someone.” This smart, sexy, funny, timely comedy follows a young girl and guy through the course of a night while they try to navigate the minefield of contemporary gender politics. They’ve just met. They like each other, they’re attracted to each other, they’ve ended up back at her place but now the true test begins. How do they avoid saying or doing the wrong thing? How do they say or do the right thing? What does that even mean in today’s world of relationships? Neil LaBute, well known for his biting, provocative plays that show men at their worst and women at their most frustrated here takes a gentler, sweeter tone and crafts a love story that remains just as edgy, just as full as razor-sharp insights, showing two people who maybe, just maybe, have made it to the other side of that dating minefield and found each other.
There will be a preview with complimentary champagne on Friday, August 2nd and an informal buffet with complimentary champagne on opening night, Saturday, August 3rd.
