2007-2008 Season
Lieberman
frozen actors

Victoria loves Ram. Maggie loves Free. Free finds herself inexplicably drawn to Ram...well, not Ram so much as Ram’s emails...that are actually written to Victoria! This romantic comedy has a love square rather than a love triangle at its brilliant and funny heart. This innovative new play will change the way we laugh and love in the theatre as it combines American Sign Language, English, erotic emails, some naughty text-messaging, and the sensual poetry of Sanskrit and asks – with 7000 known languages in the world, which could best communicate our most intimate emotion – love?

Performed in both ASL and English. This project is supported in part by an award from the National Endowment for the Arts.

"The play ends up making supporting characters out of the languages each character uses to communicate. I've honestly never seen anything like it... The actors are all excellent, displaying shades of evolving character as they reveal the aching, loving, silly, inventive, forgiving and resilient souls that live and breathe beneath all those words."
- The Bohemian
"Refreshing...The play's multiculturalism and respect for the deaf community is a great asset. "
- Edge San Francisco
