In Fidelity

Description

I told her that it wouldn't be appropriate for us to meet in person. She asked me why not. I told her the truth. Because I was extremely attracted to her and didn't want to court the destruction of my marriage. She said, your wife never needs to know. It will just be a little adventure. Nothing even needs to happen. September 2016 marks the fifteen-year anniversary of Rob and Lucy's very first date. What better way to mark this milestone than to create a show all about love? As part of his research Rob underwent an MRI scan. His ventromedial prefrontal cortex surged when looking at a picture of his wife. However, it also surged while looking at other pictures. In equal parts TED Talk and theatrical experiment, this is the show that combines a live on-stage date and evolutionary theory. Whether you're single or attached, this is a big-hearted play for those looking to find love and those wanting to celebrate it. In Fidelity received its world premiere at the HighTide Festival 2016.

Wonderfully entertaining but emotionally devastating . . . Remarkable, multi-layered and utterly gripping. * Guardian on "Bullet Catch" * It delicately sits between truth and fiction, playing with the intangibility of magic and human connection * Stage on "Bullet Catch" * Gripping psychothriller about truth and perspective from rising star Rob Drummond ... [a] breakneck, ambitious story . . . a hugely poignant statement about the very nature of secular truth and how we essentially are no more than what we tell ourselves to believe. * Independent on "Quiz Show" * Very funny . . . what Quiz Show does brilliantly . . . is give theatrical form to the nightmare of a disturbed mind, one riven by false and repressed memories . . . It leaves us uneasy and haunted. * Guardian on "Quiz Show" *
