Details

Summary

Evie Malone – gamer girl, college senior, and confirmed virgin – has it all figured out. Not only does she command a top-ranked guild in Warcraft with her online boyfriend; she also makes a little cash on the side writing love letters for people who've screwed up their relationships. Love is like Warcraft, after all. It's all about strategies, game plans, and not taking stupid risks. Well, that's what she thinks... until she actually falls for a guy. In real life. No amount of gaming expertise will help her out when she finds herself with a non-virtual, totally real and incredibly cute boyfriend, who wants more from her than she's willing to give.

In Love and Warcraft can be performed with or without an intermission.

History

In Love and Warcraft premiered at the Alliance Theatre in Atlanta, Georgia in 2014.
