The Cleveland Play
House’s intimate, subterranean Outcalt Theatre is quickly becoming the place
where carnality and clever writing come together for an evening of mutual and consensual
gratification.

SEX WITH STRANGERS is a well-written script which gets a compelling
production. The acting is
top-notch, the direction spot-on.
The must see show will delight and tantalize the audience. It well deserves the standing ovation it got on opening night.
Howard Gollop
The plot may be familiar, but Eason’s work is fresh from start to finish.
The cast is vital and electric, and so is the direction by Joanie Schultz.
Mark Horning
Although seemingly implausible on paper (young stud
beds late thirty-year-old within minutes of their meeting) it is the manner in
which the action is portrayed that brings credence to the story. What at first
looks like a romantic romp turns instead into a moral tale of burning issues as
to what makes for a successful truly meaningful relationship that will stand
the test of time. It is a good yarn for those who have been together “forever.”
Christine Howey
There’s
a desire here to explore how two people from two different generations pursue
their ideas of success and their own identities. But because of a few
production wrinkles, the finished product is a bit like a promising, but not
exactly stupendous, first date.

David Ritchey
Agatha Christie could not have done it better. And, in truth, "Sex with Strangers" has elements of a good mystery. Why do people fall in love? How do the most unlikely people find each other and suddenly realize they’re right for each other?

Directed with playfulness, subtlety and nuance by Joanie Schultz, "Sex With Strangers" moves like a red-hot page turner; it's a book you can't possibly put down.
