An illicit affair between a high school math teacher and her fifteen year-old student is told through the eyes of the student’s cell phone.
A breakneck journey from pockets to purses, through text messages and photo galleries, please excuse my dear aunt sally takes us inside a unique perspective on human interaction, and tries to unpack some of life’s most complex equations.
“The sleek seductiveness of good tech design… and the pulsing warmth of passion.”
“It’s a gleaming portrait of our collective contemporary existence... high-adrenaline and sleek production... the script reads like a lyric epic, filled with short stanzas that propel the story to exquisite effect.”
“For the inquisitive millennial who’s grown up in a technologically obsessed culture, it screams of novelty.”
“A new kind of Greek chorus.”
“This is theater at it’s very best.”
