Earworm
An Anti-Romcom
By Gur Arie Piepskovitz
About the Play:
Guy and John's breakup is an anti-love story that begins with Guy, an alternative cabaret artist, searching for the perfect breakup song to cope with his... breakup.
His partner, erm, ex, John, is doing his PhD in gay relationships. To celebrate the end of John's research, they invite his mentor and his new hot potato of a boyfriend. The four share banter, ideas and one too many, leading to sexual tension between the couples and exposing Guy and John's frustration with their relationship and unfulfilled desires.
When the inevitable breakup unfolds, Guy has to accept it and find the words to lament and celebrate his relationship—eventually, he puts it in a song.
The play explores themes such as queer relationships, the struggles of being queer within a hetero-normative society and the constant yearning for a thrill in modern relationships.
Show includes scenes of a sexual nature.
