I Love You Because
By Ryan Cunningham and Joshua Salzman
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chapel Hill, NC – UNC Pauper Players proudly announces our winter production of our 20th Anniversary Season, Ryan Cunningham and Joshua Salzman's "I Love You Because" directed by Matt Jacques, March 19 - 23 in the Martha Nell Hardy Performance Space (Bingham 203).
Very loosely based on Jane Austen's Pride and Prejudice, "I Love You Because" is the story of how the methodical greeting card poet Austin and love-for-the-moment Marcy try against all odds not to fall in love with each other. She's on the rebound and has decided not to consider any date as relationship material for at least six months. He's heartbroken after catching his girlfriend cheating and is determined to write the perfect love poem to win her back. Meanwhile, Austin's malapropping brother Jeff has been "wearing out the mattress" with Marcy's brainy, emotionally aloof friend Diana, while remaining "just friends." Filling out the company, is NYC Man and NYC Woman, who serve as part-time narrators and full-time instigators. Together, the characters explore the rules and nuances of dating in the city as they learn how to love.
"I Love You Because" shows March 19 - 23 in the Martha Nell Hardy Performance Space (Bingham 203). Tickets are sold in advance through the Carolina Union Box Office, and at the door nightly.
