Audible Theater and Chase This Productions are bringing Miriam Battye's Strategic Love Play, a Playbill Pick at the 2023 Edinburgh Festival Fringe, to Off-Broadway's Minetta Lane Theatre. Performances will begin November 1 ahead of a November 10 opening night, and continue through December. The production will also be recorded for later release as an Audible Original.
The Off-Broadway run will star Heléne Yorke (The Other Two, Bullets Over Broadway) and Michael Zegen (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel). 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.

Katie Posner will be back to direct after helming the work's premiere at Edinburgh Fringe. The play has since toured the U.K. and played two sold-out runs at London's Soho Theatre, produced by Paines Plough, Soho Theatre, and Belgrade Theatre in association with Landmark Theatres.
The New York production will feature scenic design by Arnulfo Maldonado, lighting design by Jen Schriever, costume design by Dede Ayite, and sound design by Tei Blow. Elizabeth Allen will serve as production stage manager. Casting is by Taylor Williams.
