Barcelona

“Barcelona, a wiley two-character drama by Bess Wohl, never becomes the play you think it’s going to become. The playwright stays one step ahead of theatergoers – not to trick them, but to hold out for deeper truth.”
— Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times

Late night in Barcelona. A drunk American woman goes home with a tall, dark stranger—an older Spanish man. What begins as a carefree, one-night stand becomes an invitation to danger, as the personal and political intertwine. Over the course of a single night – by turns funny, sexy and surprising – BARCELONA explores the gap between the fantasy of who we pretend to be and the truth of who we are.
