Some Girl(s) is a play written by Neil LaBute about a man only identified as Guy who is about to get married. Before his wedding, he decides to visit his ex-girlfriends, all of whom he mistreated. His exes include: Sam, his former high school sweetheart; Lindsay, a college professor from Boston; Tyler, his Chicago fling; and Bobbi, a woman from Los Angeles who he actually could have ended up with.
The play ran at the Lucille Lortel Theater in New York City, produced by MCC Theater and starred Eric McCormack (Guy), Fran Drescher (Lindsay), Judy Reyes (Tyler), Brooke Smith (Sam), and Maura Tierney (Bobbi), all known primarily for their television work.
The London cast included David Schwimmer in the lead role. He was supported by Catherine Tate, Lesley Manville, Saffron Burrows and Sara Powell in the original production in 2005.
London's Tower Theatre Company is staging a revival of the play from 12 to 16 February 2013 at Theatro Technis in Camden Town. [1]
