But these women are too intelligent, too ferociously mordant and painfully funny to remain in their places.\u003cbr\u003eIn \"Not the End Yet,\" Flattery probes the hilarious and wrenching ambivalence of Internet dating as the apocalypse nears; in \"Sweet Talk,\" the mysterious disappearance of local women sets the scene for a young girl to confront the dangerous uncertainties of her own sexuality; in \"Abortion, A Love Story,\" two college students in a dystopian campus reconfigure the perilous stories of their bodies in a fraught academic culture to offer a subversive play that takes over their own offstage lives.
