Strategic Love Play — Regional Premiere in Dallas at Teatro Dallas’ 22nd International Theatre FestivalTwo strangers on a first date try to outsmart love.
It’s funny, brutal, and painfully real — a play about dating, desire, control, and the tiny humiliations that come with wanting someone.
Modern dating brings the whole circus with it: ghosting, soft launches, existential swiping, performative coolness, and that one Hinge prompt you regret immediately.
Welcome to Hell — aka “looking for connection in 2025.”
Strategic Love Play, written by Miriam Battye, follows two people who think they know the rules. They’ve memorised the script — the charm, the pauses, the I-don’t-care-but-I-do choreography — until something cracks through the performance. The result is sharp, raw, awkward, and devastatingly funny.
It’s a story for anyone who’s ever been on Tinder, Bumble, Hinge, Breeze, Feeld, Grindr… or simply spent far too long rewriting a message that should’ve taken five seconds.

Join us in Dallas for a painfully honest, unexpectedly hilarious dissection of love in the age of the swipe.
Bring a date. Bring an ex. Bring someone you matched with once and then panicked. This one cuts close to the bone.
We hope to see you there this Valentine's Day!
