Echo Theater Company presents F**king Strangers, a dark comedy by Erik Patterson, directed by Chris Fields. The play follows four isolated and emotionally complicated people whose lives appear separate at first, but slowly reveal unexpected connections. Ru has not left his bedroom in years, Mick cannot stop paying for affection, Julianne grieves the version of herself she never became, and Dylan is willing to sell himself to anyone if the price is right. Together, their stories form a sharp and unsettling look at love, loneliness, desire, and the ways strangers can become entangled without realizing it.
With its mix of humor, vulnerability, and uncomfortable intimacy, F**king Strangers fits Echo Theater Company’s reputation for bold, contemporary theatre that pushes into emotionally messy territory. The production offers a provocative ensemble-driven experience about people searching for connection in all the wrong places, and the strange, painful, and sometimes funny ways human lives overlap.
