About the Show

This new work traverses the dystopian, the outlandish, and the magical to arrive at the collision between love, celebrity, and the apocalypse.

From the show:

Enter America's disgusting and sensational future-everything is underwater, but the TVs still work. In a moldy shack, two women slosh through life together, each the other's only remaining companion, sharing dreams of stardom and power that will never, ever, ever come true. Except when they do. Directed by Miranda Haymon (In the Penal Colony at The Tank, Next Door @ NYTW), Nick Mecikalski's Really Really Gorgeous traverses the dystopian, the outlandish, and the magical to arrive at the collision between love, celebrity... and the apocalypse.

Insipid, Confusing, Dystopian, Disappointing, Slow

See it if you enjoy dystopian political fantasy with absurdist leanings.

Don't see it if emotional realism is something you value in drama. I found the relationships only word deep without supporting actions.

Great staging, Solid acting, Disappointing

See it if you want to see a play with great promise that actively deconstructs American Myths.

Don't see it if you will be overly disappointed by a play that supplies new American Myths worse than the old. Read more

"Nick Mecikalski's 'Really Really Gorgeous' (directed by Miranda Haymon) is set in a dystopian world that will seem familiar or at least largely plausible to audiences in 2020. In the play, dramatic shifts in climate have left much of North America underwater (both literally and figuratively)."
