Zuzovsky’s play LONG DISTANCE, developed through Soho Theatre Labs, premiered at the 2024 Edinburgh Fringe.
Two young queers meet. They fall in love, have sex, fight, make up, and break up – and all through texting. These texts, like poetry, chart their unforgettable relationship.
LONG DISTANCE dives into the empty space between us and our desperate attempts to fill it up. A funny, heartbreaking new play about technological despair, the daily work of love, and the long distance that exists in all relationships these days.
Written, Directed, & Produced by
ELI ZUZOVSKY
