Approaching 40, Olivia is a brilliant university professor hiding away at a writer's retreat in rural Michigan. After a crushing failure to launch many years prior, she has no intention of allowing her writing to see the light of day again, let alone a critic's red pen. That is, until millennial bad-boy blogger Ethan blows in from a snowstorm with half a million Twitter followers and industry connections as temping as his 20-something sex drive. Their mutual attraction takes over as she longs for a second chance as a writer and he seeks to shed his cheap online persona for something real. What they find is a labyrinth of attraction, ambition, and alternate identities as the line between life offline and life online starts to blur. Premiered at Chicago's acclaimed Steppenwolf Theatre Company in 2011, SEX WITH STRANGERS is a smart and sexy reckoning with identity and desire in the digital age.
