In a lively suburban condo complex, practical, rule-bound Louise’s quiet life is upended when her new magnetic, unpredictable neighbour Amber moves in next door. Sparks fly, gossip spreads, and grudges grow—until an unexpected night forces them to confront their differences and discover a surprising bond. Geez, Louise! is a sharp, fast-paced comedy about control, chaos, and unexpected friendships that keep life interesting.
Geez, Louise! has been developed through multiple readings, including a staged reading by Theatre Aezir (June 2025). The script is polished and production-ready, with a balance of comedy and heartfelt character development. Runtime approximately 100 minutes. Flexible casting (6–9 actors).
