The Way We Get By

After a drunken party and a hot night, they wake up to a blurry morning where the rules of attraction, sex, and society are waiting for them before their first cup of coffee

It's all very awkward

But it also leads the pair to ponder how much they really know about each other

And how much they really care about what other people think

A play about love and lust and the whole damn thing

REVIEWS

"The Way We Get By is a good play with an important conundrum (which I won't ruin for you), with a positive and hopeful ending, (that much I will ruin for you). It actually feels good in our ever wary world to see that problems, no matter how challenging, can be worked out and realized" ~ Huffington Post

"sexy[LaBute] relishes the art of thwarting expectations" ~ NY Times

"One-night stands often produce repercussions, but few are as emotionally fraught as the one depicted in Neil LaBute's [THE WAY WE GET BY]the playwright's gift for amusing banter is very much on display." -Hollywood Reporter

"[LaBute's] sometimes brutal wit has long been accompanied by an equally fierce moral curiosity if we see Doug and Beth's struggle in the context of a world where everyone can seem to be in everyone else's business - especially when it's trivial - the focus is on two individuals trying to assess their own capacity for courage" ~ USA Today
