Reverberation

You don't have to tell me everything at once. Just tell me a little bit. And then a little bit more. And you could just keep telling me until eventually I'd know you. After a tragedy, Jonathan has withdrawn from the world, curtailing his social life to brief encounters with men he meets online. When free spirit Claire moves into the flat upstairs, she tries to coax him out of his shell. Drawn together by their desire for emotional attachment, they form a connection, but the happiness they find is threatened as the past reverberates. Matthew López's funny, sexy play about loneliness and longing was first performed at Hartford Stage, Connecticut, in 2015. It received its European premiere, in this reshaped version, at the Bristol Old Vic in October 2024.

Matthew López is the author of The Inheritance, which premiered in 2018 at the Young Vic before transferring to the West End and Broadway. Matthew won the Tony, Olivier, Evening Standard, Drama Desk, London Critics Circle, Outer Critics Circle, Drama League, and GLAAD Awards for Best Play for The Inheritance. His play The Sentinels premiered in London in 2011 as part of Headlong Theatre's Decade plays.
