Overview

Suzanna sets up Max, her best friend, on a blind date with her husband's co-worker, the mysterious Becky Shaw. What follows is a series of cataclysmic events that forever changes all their lives. Mixing sharp wit and humor with the taut suspense of a psychological thriller, Becky Shaw is a comedy of romantic errors - and a Pulitzer Prize finalist - that will keep audiences guessing.

An L.A. Theatre Works full-cast performance featuring:
Emily Bergl as Suzanna Slater
Matt Letscher as Andrew Porter
Marsha Mason as Susan Slater
Mandy Siegfried as Becky Shaw
Josh Stamberg as Max Garrett

Directed by Bart DeLorenzo. Recorded before a live audience at the Skirball Cultural Center, Los Angeles.

Editorial Reviews

From the Publisher

Gina Gionfriddo's comedy of bad manners, a tangled tale of love, sex and ethics among a quartet of men and women in their thirties, is as engrossing as it is ferociously funny, like a big box of fireworks fizzing and crackling across the stage from its first moments to its last…deftly plotted, scabrous and sharp-witted…” —New York Times

“The characters in Gionfriddo's blind-date-gone-bad black comedy share the potential to revolt…They're also subversively funny-and improbably charming. Grade: A.” —Entertainment Weekly

“Scathing, class-conscious comedy…Becky Shaw exerts a hypnotic pull, thanks in large part to the wonderfully witty dialogue and complex characterizations.” —New York Post

Time Out London


Has the moral subtlety of Jane Austen but it yanks its characters' illusions down with the off-kilter ease that's usually the trademark of access-all-areas TV satirists like Larry David or Tina Fey.

Daily Mail


Ferociously funny comedy of outrageously bad manners...From the start, you're riveted.

Financial Times (of London)


It is dazzlingly written and studded with rapier-sharp lines.

Daily Telegraph


It remains sharp and funny to the end, and presents its characters with the irony and wit of a latter-day Jane Austen.
