Description

I told her that it wouldn't be appropriate for us to meet in person. She asked me why not. I told her the truth. Because I was extremely attracted to her and didn't want to court the destruction of my marriage. She said, your wife never needs to know. It will just be a little adventure. Nothing even needs to happen. September 2016 marks the fifteen-year anniversary of Rob and Lucys very first date. What better way to mark this milestone than to create a show all about love As part of his research Rob underwent an MRI scan. His ventromedial prefrontal cortex surged when looking at a picture of his wife. However, it also surged while looking at other pictures. In equal parts TED Talk and theatrical experiment, this is the show that combines a live on-stage date and evolutionary theory. Whether youre single or attached, this is a big-hearted play for those looking to find love and those wanting to celebrate it. In Fidelity received its world premiere at the HighTide Festival 2016.

Reviews

Wonderfully entertaining but emotionally devastating . . . Remarkable, multi-layered and utterly gripping. * Guardian on "Bullet Catch" *
It delicately sits between truth and fiction, playing with the intangibility of magic and human connection * Stage on "Bullet Catch" *
Gripping psychothriller about truth and perspective from rising star Rob Drummond ... [a] breakneck, ambitious story . . . a hugely poignant statement about the very nature of secular truth and how we essentially are no more than what we tell ourselves to believe. * Independent on "Quiz Show" *
Very funny . . . what Quiz Show does brilliantly . . . is give theatrical form to the nightmare of a disturbed mind, one riven by false and repressed memories . . . It leaves us uneasy and haunted. * Guardian on "Quiz Show" *
