Events Description
The Incomplete Dictionary of Lexical Gaps
by Samantha Machado
A surprising story of love, loss and language
Empty-nesters Alice and Robert are getting their affairs in order. Tonight, they host a hysterically awkward dinner party with a couple they’ve never met before – two pairs of strangers fumbling through small talk and the careful choreography of an evening that feels slightly off balance. Then, with a surprising twist, everything shifts. What began as a simple attempt at connection becomes something far deeper, binding the four of them together into a lexical gap: a situation with no name – a relationship with no easy definition.
Written by PTE/MAP Playwrights Unit alumna Samantha Machado, The Incomplete Dictionary of Lexical Gaps marks an exciting debut from a remarkable new voice.
Directed by Ann Hodges
