Whirlwind
New York Innovative Theater Award nominee for Best Premiere Production, Best Scenic Design & winner for Innovative Design
1F, 2M
Whirlwind centers around Bethany, a health and safety manager for wind developer Arrow Energy, as she is tasked with distracting and diverting the efforts of Michael, a wildlife advocate, from challenging the expansion of their wind farm—an assignment that becomes all the more complicated when the two become romantically entangled, while Bethany also dodges inappropriate courting from her boss, Cooper. Darkly comedic and unpredictable, Whirlwind explores the precarious intersection of business, science, and sexual politics involved when “going green.”

with Christian Conn, Annapurna Sriram, Johnny Wu
the Wild Project

"DELIGHTFUL"
"JAFFE HAS COME UP WITH THAT RARE THEATRICAL BEAST - THE UNABASHED ROMANTIC COMEDY"
"SRIRAM'S QUICK-WITTED PERFORMANCE POWERS DAN AMBOYER'S PRODUCTION"
- Elisabeth Vincentelli
The New Yorker
"THOUGHT-PROVOKING"
"CLEVER DIALOGUE"
"ALL THREE ACTORS' EXPRESSIVENESS AND SUPERB COMIC TIMING, ALONG WITH DAN AMBOYER'S EXCELLENT DIRECTION, BRING THIS THOUGHT-PROVOKING SCRIPT TO LIFE."
- Christopher Caz
Theaterscene.net
"[BETH AND MICHAEL]'S STAR-CROSSED RELATIONSHIP IS A MEMORABLE ONE, AND JAFFE'S CLIMAX PROVES A BITTERSWEET CONCLUSION TO A PRODUCTION OF MODEST MEANS YET AMPLE SATISFACTIONS."
