“Do you ever let your mind wander at your desk? My personal intrusive thought is counting friendship points. Everyone has a friend. Unless you’re a horrible human being that nobody wants to associate with. I texted my best friend twice yesterday morning, and she didn’t reply until 3:45pm. That’s a foul. I reached out first the last three times. That’s three points.

Friendship isn’t bound by the same formal rules or expectations as other types of relationships. Yet, the betrayal of these unwritten rules can be devastating…

How many points can I count before I drown… Or drown her.”

Dreaming Revenge is a journey inside a troubled character’s mind. Bea thinks that Anna, her life long best friend, has betrayed her for the small price of a job.

This office story explores the intricacies of female workplace relationships. What does it mean to be a successful ambitious woman and deal with the competitive nature of female friendships? The workplace is where violence and femininity meet - this show is not about women being pretty.

Note: This performance contains references to mental illness, violent language, graphic descriptions of death, blood, animal harm, and mentions of suicide.
