Overview
Isabelle and Kirsten have been ride-or-die besties since undergrad, particularly throughout Kirsten’s toxic situationship with her ex-SSB (Stupid Shitty Boyfriend). When Isabelle helps ghostwrite Kirsten’s dating-app messages to woo a better match, Kirsten gets first-date jitters and asks Isabelle to meet him instead. But as Isabelle becomes totally smitten with the charming prairie-boy heartthrob Harjit, her role as supportive wingwoman suddenly gets complicated. Like falling-for-your-best-friend’s-date complicated.
An ingenious millennial spin on Cyrano de Bergerac set in vibrant East Vancouver, Someone Like You delivers all the swoon-worthy joy of your favorite early-2000s rom-coms while unpacking fatphobia, racism, and desirability politics in today’s dating landscape. With acerbic wit and passionate prose of Shakespearean proportions, this heartfelt play is a love letter to anyone who’s ever been picked last to slow dance and a profound musing on what it means to be the main character of your own story.
