Evie Malone—gamer girl, college senior, and confirmed virgin—has it all figured out. Not only does she command a top-ranked guild in Warcraft with her online boyfriend; she also makes a little cash on the side writing love letters for people who've screwed up their relationships. Love is like Warcraft, after all. It's all about strategies, game plans, and not taking stupid risks.
Well, that's what she thinks...until she actually falls for a guy. In real life. No amount of gaming expertise will help her out when she finds herself with a non-virtual, totally real, and incredibly cute boyfriend, who wants more from her than she's willing to give.

Evie's friend Kitty, whose level of interest in sex is roughly the opposite of Evie's, tries to provide her with helpful advice—not always successfully. In Love and Warcraft is lighthearted, but while the play pokes fun at the video game industry, Evie learns a few life lessons.

Developed at The National New Play Network MFA Playwrights Workshop, In Love and Warcraft had its first professional productions in 2015.
