Ask Aunt Susan

Nov 10 – 20, 2011 in Goodman's Owen Theatre

90 minutes

In this wry new comedy from playwright Seth Bockley, a 20-something man moonlights as Aunt Susan, an online guru offering advice to women on everything from boyfriends to back problems. Ask Aunt Susan becomes the web’s hottest spot for self-help, even as Aunt Susan’s boss, a reckless funder, hopes to profit from the women’s woes. As the website grows, so does Aunt Susan’s web of deceit—and soon the Ask Aunt Susan phenomenon is much bigger than one man could have imagined. This irreverent new play explores anonymity, authenticity and the unwieldy world of the web.
