DOUG DEVITA’S GODDESS OF THE HUNT TRAVELS TO FLORIDA: Goddess of the Hunt by Doug DeVita, production directed By Owen Robertson, September 18 – October 5 at Lab Theater Project Inc, 812 E Henderson Ave, Tampa, FL 33602. TICKETS
Just how well do you know your “friends” on social media?
In Goddess of the Hunt — a fast-paced, gleefully twisted comedy — grieving widower Charlie Windsor strikes up a spontaneous friendship with the magnetic and mysterious Diana Black-White in a Midtown Manhattan bar. Their instant bond unsettles Charlie’s childhood best friend, Broadway actor Ed McGrath, and soon Charlie is swept into a surreal tangle of dark secrets, shifting loyalties, and dangerously performative personas.
What begins as a quirky new connection spirals into a mythologically infused showdown, blurring the lines between grief and obsession, truth and performance. A modern homage to 1960s romantic thrillers—filtered through the warped lens of contemporary oversharing—Goddess of the Hunt explores what happens when privacy dies and every connection might be a trap.
