What happens when you love someone but hate the things they believe?
When former lovers Helen and Mark reunite after years apart, they quickly realize that the person each of them once knew—and the love they shared—might be more complicated than they remembered. What begins as an attempt to reconnect turns into a sharp, funny, and deeply emotional exploration that challenges everything the pair thought they understood about the past—and the possibilities for their future. As old wounds are reopened, secrets are revealed, and uncomfortable truths come to light, Still explores what happens when we confront the people from our past—and discover that we might never have truly known them at all.
I am thrilled to present Lia Romeo’s remarkable STILL as part of our Script in Hand series. Lia's script is heartbreakingly funny even as it is beautifully insightful, offering a poignant look at the complexities of rekindled relationships. In Still, we meet characters who navigate their regrets, their hopes and their personal beliefs, even as they are willing to bear their vulnerabilities and reveal their passions. This is a play that not only confronts uncomfortable truths but does so with a skillful blend of humor and heart, and I know it will get our audience talking!"

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
Lia Romeo... has given us a true conversation – real emotions and lives on display. She gives the audience places to laugh, gasp, and groan in anger, and in fun. It is a play whose characters are living long and complex lives. It is a play that should be seen, often, everywhere."
Berkshire OnstageAn entertaining, moving yet also instructive play… a deeply human story."
Manchester JournalWhat STILL offers is food for thought that makes for a fine meal, especially for those hungry enough (and willing enough) to bite into something substantial."

ABOUT SCRIPT IN HAND PLAYREADINGS
Every Script in Hand playreading is a brand new experience.
At a Script in Hand playreading, there’s nothing between you and the actors on stage. These readings bring actors who’ve just met — or who’ve known each other for years — together for one day to rehearse and perform a play on a bare stage, with simple lighting — and you. The audience is in charge of conjuring the set, costumes, and atmosphere — or nothing at all. Actors, audience, and the director come together to create a special, one-night-only experience.
