Friends Don’t Let Friends (Or: Television Lied to Us)
Reading at the Wild Project – July 18, 2018
About the play: Originally workshopped with West of 10th Theater Company, Friends Don’t Let Friends was remounted (with a new ending!) at the 2018 Fresh Fruit Festival in NYC.
Featuring: Alex Gould, Crystal Lucas-Perry, Alton Alburo, Rachel B. Joyce, and Anna O’Donoghue on stage directions.
Synopsis: Matt and Kayla always thought they had the rare gay/lesbian BFF relationship that could withstand whatever the world threw at them–– the kind of codependent friendship that would make for a great TV show (if either one of them would ever get around to to writing it). But when Kayla’s girlfriend helps her score a dream job writing for a real TV show in Los Angeles, Matt’s resentment opens the door to questions of nepotism, diversity, and representation that threaten to tear their friendship apart.
