Boy meets shark, a love story

Logan Marshall-Green and Michael Arden, Swimming in the Shallows. Second Stage Theatre.In a play that offers a fresh take on impossible relationships, a young man falls for a shark. It’s Jaws meets Trick in Rhode Island:

Is it love at first bite? Swimming in the Shallows treats its unusual infatuation as your everyday teen crush, all giddy apprehension and nervous fumbling. Clearly, a little man-shark love is no big deal in playwright Adam Bock’s sweetly absurdist view of life.

Now, isn’t this the very thing Jerry Falwell warned us about (but denied later)?
