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
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.
