      AND I WAS LIKE
      "Talk to me."
      Guy falls for guy. Guy doesn't talk. Guy keeps falling.
      And I Was Like is a story about love without words.

      When Philip meets Trace, his speechlessness is charming, endearing and just a bit unusual. But when months later his mute boyfriend won't tell him why he's not talking Philip tries everything he to fix Trace and break the silence.

      And I Was Like is a fascinating look at communication in a relationship and how desperate we are to understand each other.

      Following 2012's acclaimed Goddess and Mab's Room double bill, Smoke Labours Productions is back at The Basement March 12-16 with another new play by Sam Brooks (Playmarket's Playwrights b4 25 2012 winner). In a cast headed up by Eli Matthewson (Square Eye Pair, Velcro City) and Taofia Pelesasa (A Frigate Bird Sings, The Factory), and featuring Elyse Brock (Goddess), Kate Castle (Spring Awakening) and Steven Chudley (Mab's Room).

      And I Was Like is a trip into the mind of a person who simply chooses not to talk.
