Playing Doug in this quite unexpected plot by Neil Labute

The Way We Get By_poster_18x24.jpg

Attractive singles Doug and Beth meet at a drunken party and end up having sex at the apartment Beth shares with her roommate. Unable to sleep, Doug gets up in the middle of the night and inadvertently wakes Beth with his fidgeting. The two begin some humorously awkward conversation that veers toward their love lives before Beth, wanting to get intimate again, meets with resistance from Doug. After she probes as to why Doug doesn't want to jump back into bed with her, he reveals not only his feelings but a surprising bond they share from the past. Fast-moving, sexy, and surprisingly poignant, The Way We Get By is about lust, love, and life.
