Following fifty performances from Edinburgh to Los Angeles, and three extensions at NYCs legendary SoHo Playhouse, the critically acclaimed dark comedy "HardLove" adds an additional performance on Wednesday, May 27 at 9:00pm before closing on June 6.

In "HardLove," a volatile late-night encounter fueled by booze and magnetic attraction forces two strangers to confront their fears, desires, and the fragile lines between connection and destruction. The American/Turkish production is adapted by Esin İleri and Miray Beşli from the original Turkish play by Anıl Can Beydilli, and features Miray Beşli and Chandler Stephenson. Directed by Jee Duman.

Through elegant, stylized choreography, "HardLove" introduces audiences to ChiChi (Miray Beşli), a raw, free spirit with a wild, fierce heart and Theodore (Chandler Stephenson), the epitome of a well-mannered, intellectual who values order and structure. After stumbling into Teddy's apartment blackout drunk, their initial fumbling attempts at a hookup quickly dissolve, exposing vastly different expectations of intimacy and connection. Can two people navigate different wavelengths to find common ground, or will their wild clash lead to emotional wreckage?
