Who’d Love Lucy?

Written by Molly Stern, Who’d Love Lucy? follows the titular protagonist Lucy, a young woman trying her best (but failing miserably) to find true love. Threading through past and present, Lucy recounts her woeful tales of failed situationships and heart-breaking flings to the audience. After finding herself in a very sticky situation, Lucy has to face her own faults and, with the help of her best friend, fight to break her destructive patterns.
