2m, 12f / Drama Anon is the story of two relationships as one
struggles to begin and the other struggles to continue. A darkly
comedic contemporary romantic tragedy, the play addresses the
hunger for sexual intimacy in a culture of addiction. As Allison
tries to mold Trip into the kind of man she wishes could love her,
Rachelle fights to preserve the illusion that Bert, her husband of
thirty-five years, is the kind of man she can love. Inevitably
interwoven from the start, these two journeys intensify as they
increasingly affect and ultimately collide with each other.
Surrounding the central action of the play is a chorus of women
speaking at a meeting for the partners of sex addicts. These
monologues are called "qualifications" in the language of
AA/SA/Al-Anon/S-Anon.) Allison and Rachelle's relationship to this
chorus gradually becomes clear as they are moved by the events of
the play toward a reckoning with these voices and the journey they
all share. "a savvy, honest drama about sexual addiction" - The New
York Times "an intriguing work from the Six Feet Under alumni
association comes from the show's writer-co-producer Kate Robin. In
Anon., she finds a way-and I mean this as a compliment-to write a
play about sex addiction that doesn't try to be sexy. ..Robin
floats some good questions, namely: How do you maintain a sane
relationship in a society that's sex-mad?" - NY Magazine
2m, 2f / Comedy Connie and Jonas are a successful industry couple.
Their friends Suzanne, a struggling painter, and Matt, a struggling
musician, can't afford to fix the roof. But stay tuned because in
this funny, poignant and always truthful new play, lives can change
in a heartbeat, and things aren't necessarily what they seem.
