The Wilma Theater is ringing in 2010 with Becky Shaw, a critically acclaimed romantic comedy with a bite, which will run throughout the month of January.

It’s more of a comedy of errors, actually: Suzanna sets up her best friend Max on a blind date with Becky, a co-worker of Suzanna’s husband. A chain of catastrophes is inadvertently set in motion, with long-lasting effects. The play is cutting and witty, and so suspenseful that it feels like a psychological thriller.

Becky Shaw is hitting Philly with high expectations – it just finished up an off-Broadway run in New York, where The New York Times called it “ferociously funny.” It was also a Pulitzer Prize finalist, and both the director (Anne Kauffman) and the playwright (Gina Gionfriddo, of “Law & Order” fame) are Obie Award winners. Gionfriddo will even be popping by for a special conversation on January 10th.

Shows at The Wilma never disappoint, so make sure to catch “Becky Shaw” for some quality theatre and post-holiday laughs.
