Does anyone know anything about this show... cast or story or anything? I might be trying out for it, but only if the cast requires it and if the story isn't too crazy!

Spike Heels, by Teresa Rebeck, is a four person comedy. The story centers on two people who live in the same apartment building who have developed a sort of Pygmalion-esque relationship with the guy, Andrew, teaching the girl, Georgie, about certain books and philosophies and things like that because he is an author and academic and she's from a bad neighborhood and never really got an education. They have obivous feelings for each other but Andrew is engaged to the other female character, Lydia. Edward, the other male character is Andrew's good friend and Andrew got Georgie a job working for him, but has just quit because he threatened to rape her. (He wasn't really going to rape her, but he is a big masogonistic jerk like that.) Anyway, that is a very surface-y and sparse description. It's a good play. Let me know if you want more specifics!
