Thirty years ago, Helen and Mark broke up, but they never completely forgot about each other. When they meet for dinner to catch up, the flame is rekindled… but Mark is running for Congress, and Helen has a secret that could derail his bid. Lost love is revisited and an avocado goes flying in Lia Romeo’s whirlwind NY premiere comedy about getting older, political divisions, and roads not taken.
Following a successful run at the Dorset Theatre Festival in 2023, Jayne Atkinson and Tim Daly will be reprising their acclaimed roles as Helen and Mark in this new play for anyone who’s ever wondered “what if?”
“Lia Romeo has written a play that I feel I’ve waited for my whole life. What an honor!,” said Tony Award nominee Jayne Atkinson.
“This play is funny, moving, thought provoking, and endlessly surprising and as an actor and for an audience that’s an exciting combination of elements,” said Emmy Award nominee Tim Daly.
“I wrote STILL because I was struggling with some big questions… what to do when you love someone, but you hate some of the things they believe… and what to do when there’s someone you can’t be with but you also can’t manage to forget. I thought writing about these questions might lead me to answers. It didn’t. But it did show me that they’re questions that also resonate with a lot of other people,” said Playwright Lia Romeo. “I’m so excited that Colt Coeur is bringing this beautiful production to New York. Tim and Jayne bring so much sympathy to these characters… it’s impossible not to love them, even when they’re doing and saying terrible things to one another.”
“Still packs a powerful punch but it has a lot of fun along the way.”—Rutland Herald
