“Play Actually is a clever satirical examination of modern dating practices and expectations of love.” –ExpressMedia. A NON Rom Com; parodying dating and relationships, Play Actually pokes fun at how seriously we take ourselves in love. It observes how the romantic myth leads us astray and how “tools” like NLP get us lost faster and further. It explores how our online lives enable us to delude ourselves as much as each other. It confronts a dating world rife with cunning tricksters and hopeless desperation… …and revels in how it’s all pretty funny. The show stitches together two stories of people seeking romance in a difficult age. Follow the bizarre lives of a neurotic girl desperately dating in search of true love and a depressed children’s entertainer finding fulfillment in a virtual world. Weaving it all together -or ripping it all apart- are two relentlessly inquiring actors aiming to dissect and debunk the romantic myth. Directed by Mark Winstanley. Written and performed by Tim Monley and Katy Houska. "Houska and Monley are both highly skilled and expressive performers…"-Expressmedia. "With their clowning skills and irrepressible energy they make every scene zing." -AustralianStage. "Sure to make you giggle at it’s absurdity…” -Buzzcuts.
