This 2010 Scotsman Fringe First award-winner continues Inis Nua’s exciting series of area premieres from the United Kingdom. D.C. Jackson’s comedy, an “office fantasia,” probes twentysomething co-workers dealing with lust and loneliness. Director Tom Reing’s cast includes Jenna Horton, Emilie Krause and Aubie Merrylees, who graduated to adult roles with his star turn in Lantern’s The Liar last fall. Inis Nua has a great record of discoveries; rather than reviving the classics of Irish, Scottish, Welsh and English dramatic literature, they find challenging new plays that combine the islands’ storytelling traditions with contemporary themes and settings — and their renditions of the region’s many colorful accents are always rich and accurate.
Through Feb. 24, $20-$25, Off-Broad Street Theatre, 1636 Sansom St., 215-454-9776, inisnuatheatre.org.
