Things You Shouldn’t Say Past Midnight

After a successful run in Walnut Creek in May 2005, theatre Q’s Things You Shouldn’t Say Past Midnight, by Peter Ackerman, moves to San Francisco. The play tells the story of 3 pairs of lovers trying to enjoy a night of romance, each in their own unique way. But in a massive (and apparently spreading) case of coitus interruptus, each couple is blocked from satisfaction by a mixture of circumstance, honesty, stubbornness, identity and selfishness. A disagreement during sex sends Nancy out of her lover Ben’s bedroom and into the apartment of her friend Grace. Grace is being visited by a hitman at the time (but that’s a good thing). Nancy’s arrival prompts Grace to call Gene’s brother Mark, a therapist of questionable repute who has an interesting visitor of his own. All three couples end up connected by an uproarious conference call with hilarious results.
