"Anthony Neilson's Stitching is one of the most exciting plays of the year... I left the theatre with my pulse, and my mind racing."
- Time Out London

A limited Off-Broadway run of the U.S. premiere of Stitching - a twisted tale that keeps you on the edge of your seat - by British playwright Anthony Neilson.

Stu and Abby love each other so madly, they're driving each other crazy. Stitching follows the increasingly disturbing and inventive games the couple plays in order to connect. As they circle and test each other, they role-play with reality and fantasy to the point where even they don't seem sure what is real anymore. When Abby discovers she's pregnant, the choices they make will haunt them forever. The visceral poetry and physicality between the lovers creates a surprisingly tender, often humorous, brutal romance. Stitching is a complex love story that takes a bracing look at the startling casualties of modern romance.

The play stars renowned Israeli actress Meital Dohan, recently seen as 'Yael Hoffman,' the sexy rabbinical scholar, in the hit Showtime series, Weeds.

"Dohan has a sharp wit and notable ability to find the unlikely joke."
- The Village Voice

"Gianino brings a focus and power to the stage."
- Variety
