2 Across by Jerry Mayer

2 Across

Two strangers, a man and a woman, board a San Francisco BART train at 4:30 a.m. They’re alone in the car, each is married, both are doing the New York Times crossword.

She’s an organized, sensible psychologist. He’s a free-spirited, unemployed ad exec. She is a crossword pro, he always quits.

When he tosses his puzzle away, she snaps, “Crosswords are a metaphor for life, those who finish, succeed, those who don’t, fail.” Now he vows to finish. Why? He’s a competitor and she happens to be lovely. This starts an eight-minute ride described by critics as “Hilarious,” “Witty,” “Romantic,” “Poignant,” and “Wonderfully entertaining.” Two opposites in an enclosed space, attacking each other’s values, but also being swayed and intrigued by them. They each have serious life problems that the other helps solve. Their trip is filled with unpredictable, but believable, surprises, even a passionate kissing embrace or two. As the train ride ends it’s obvious each of them has been changed for the better.

UPDATE REGARDING COVID-19

At Naked Stage, we are fully committed to the health and safety of our performers and our guests.

In order to comply with government and Provincial Health Authority requirements regarding social distancing, we have postponed our scheduled in person productions.

This was a heartbreaking decision for all of us, but it's the right thing to do for our community and for everyone's sake to help slow the spread of Covid-19.

We're currently assessing and monitoring the situation to plan our next shows whether we bring it to you online, in the theatre or a combination of both. Thank you for your support and understanding.

Please stay tuned to this site or sign up for our newsletter for updates.

"I've missed only one or two of the performances so far, and I really enjoyed all of them. The chain-rattler in the play about Scrooge was excellent and the Southern Belles in the Sipping Society - I just loved them all!"
