Miriam Battye's Strategic Love Play made its Off-Broadway debut via Audible Theater and Chase This Productions with an official opening night at the Minetta Lane Theatre November 10, and the reviews are in.
See what critics are saying about the show, running through December 7, below. The production will also be recorded for later release as an Audible Original.
Heléne Yorke (The Other Two, Bullets Over Broadway) and Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel) star, with understudies Katie Broad and Sebastian Beacon rounding out the company. The work follows a couple who meet after matching via dating apps, only for the date to spiral into something wholly unexpected.
Yorke will not appear in performances November 15-17.

The New York production features scenic design by Arnulfo Maldonado, lighting design by Jen Schriever, costume design by Dede Ayite, and sound design by Tei Blow. Elizabeth Allen serves as production stage manager. Casting is by Taylor Williams.
