About the Show

This new two-character play explores the story of a mixed-race couple through poetry, movement, and dramatic scenes. Part of Theater for the New City's Dream Up Festival.

From the show:

This show, using poetry, movement, and workout reenactments to tell the story of a mixed-race couple: Sam, a workaholic with a troubled childhood, and Taylor, an aspiring poet. The two bond over their interest in kickboxing and quickly begin a relationship. However, between Sam’s increasing responsibilities as an physical instructor and Taylor’s struggle for her work to be recognized, they begin to fight more and more often, and they must decide whether or not they are truly right for each other.

At its core, "Two is A Prime Number" is a universal story, told through movement and poetry, about what it means to fall in love, to fall out of love, to be in love, and the fundamental problem of intensely loving someone who may be completely wrong for you.

Tedious, Confusing, Slow, Excruciating, Disappointing

See it if You like character study type plays...when you get to look into the lives of the two characters, see how they tick, who they are...

Don't see it if you want to see an original story or one that is smoothly acted. This felt uncomfortable more than a few times as if the actors were lost. Read more

Quirky, Disappointing, Confusing, Relevant, Slow

See it if you want to support new work by young artists. There is something here that could be further developed as it is a important issue.

Don't see it if you want to hear everything: voices directed away from audience get lost, recorded voices are low, noise from props drown dialogue. Editing!
