He Said/She Said is half devised, half improvised theater. As an audience member, you start by sitting with either He or She and discussing their recent break-up. Fifteen minutes into the conversation, a bell rings, He & She stand up, and the play starts over again with a different side of the story sitting in front of you.

Devised over weeks of rehearsal, the actors know the truth of their relationship – how they met, how they fought, how they had sex, how they broke up. But, like all of us, the story has become twisted in their heads. Truth becomes a lie the other tells, lies become the truth they tell themselves.

As an audience member, you can say anything you want to He & She. They are your friends, after all. Interrogate them. Comfort them. Make them angry. Tell them they deserved it. Help them plot their ex’s murder. They are your friends, after all.
