Description
An improvised comedy about complicated people.
The ones we love and value the most are also the ones that can frustrate the most: our family, friends, coworkers. We’ve all got flaws, and how those flaws collide determines how we get along...or don’t.
Friction deconstructs the people we are, the people we know and what happens when we spend a little too much time together. Drawing inspiration from your favorite "Dramedies" like The Holdovers, A Real Pain, Lady Bird, or Banshees of Inisherin, the show finds humor in the the most challenging relationships.
