CARBON DATING

$5.40$15.00

Thirteen characters go on a succession of first dates. Through a number of hilarious, sometimes excruciating scenes, we come to see not only the complex web of relationships that exists between these characters, but also a certain primal template for the mating ritual that cannot be ignored. Part of the folklore of this ritual is the necessary myth that, somewhere out there, there is a Mr or Ms Right for each of us.

But a myth, necessary or otherwise, is nevertheless a myth. There is nothing new under the sun.

REVIEW: CARBON DATING BY RON ELISHA

TOM OAKLEY, ONE STOP ARTS, 20 NOVEMBER 2012

"The premise is simple. Over the course of the play, a dozen people meet for first dates, chance encounters, and even a fist fight in the name of finding that one special someone. We see things go well and, more enticingly, not so well. What's nice is that the story evolves with each date as we learn more about the characters, their backgrounds and how they are all linked together."
