Chris Tolley talks to playwright and performer Akosua Amo-Adem about her hit play Table for Two, a funny, candid, and deeply relatable look at modern dating. Set in Toronto and centred on Abby, a hopeful romantic navigating apps, expectations, and one bad date after another, the play explores the search for connection in a world that can feel both hyper-connected and isolating.
Akosua shares how the play grew out of real observations and research into dating-app culture, why humour is essential to telling this story, and what audiences respond to most when they see Abby onstage. Together, they talk about vulnerability, rejection, desire, and the pressure to find love on a timeline that doesn’t always match real life.
