Chemistry at Soho Playhouse

A well-reviewed hit at the FringeNYC Festival, award-winning playwright Jacob Marx Rice's deep and dark comedy matches a depressed woman, prone to suicide attempts, and a bipolar man, coming off a manic episode, who meet cute in a psychiatrist's office. But despite the obvious spark between them, their differing attitudes towards their illnesses, their treatment and each other make it tough to stay together. Chemistry runs as part of the FringeNYC Encore Series, and has been hailed for its realistic, wry and poignant depiction of those living with mental illness.
