The Romeo Initiative by Trina Davies

Touchstone Theatre
THE ROMEO INITIATIVE
By Trina Davies

Half romantic comedy and half spy thriller with a tantalizing twist, The Romeo Initiative is based on a real 1970’s program in which East German men were sent to develop long-term relationships with West German secretaries to determine their “perfect man”.

"the play has definitely got a seductive hook, digging into one of the hotter chapters of the cold war in Germany . . . August Strindberg wrote that 'love between a man and woman is war' but Davies suggests it is actually a cold war full of anxiety, paranoia and double agents."
The Globe and Mail

"delivers a swift kick in the heart"
The Calgary Herald
