"Guys always mean well before they f**k someone over. The truth changes on a daily basis, so…."

Guy, a successful writer on the cusp of marriage, decides to take himself across the country on a tour of some of his ex-girlfriends, a diverse quartet, all of whom he treated badly. He wants to apologize for past transgressions and head, absolved, to the altar.

There's more to it than that, of course. It is Labute, after all. Remember FAT PIG, from our 2006/2007 season?

LaBute's play is partly a portrait of a serial quitter with a terror of emotional commitment. And, if the hero compulsively revisits his old lovers, it is both to right past wrongs and to make sure he hasn't missed out on something. In that sense, it's both a pilgrim's and rake's progress. Some Girl(s) is undoubtedly funny at times, and LaBute analyses the sexual relationships with a searing accuracy that might be described as wise. But gentle? Never. This is a play where the gloves keep coming off and characters inflict real damage on each other.

"Some Girl(s)" might not be a great option for a date night. But there’ll definitely be no lack of conversation on the ride home….
