Body of Work - A new play by Rigel Harris

Eloise is a PhD candidate in experimental medicine and oncology at NYU. She’s also a high-end escort. When she falls in love with a handsome stranger and uncovers fabricated data at her lab, the lives she’s kept carefully separate begin to unravel. Body of Work is a dark comedy about ambition, intimacy, and the fragile boundaries between who we are and what we’re paid to be. It interrogates the hierarchies we place on the different ways people make money and the moral narratives attached to our labor. By reflecting the quiet contradictions in our careers and personal lives, the play explores work, love, ambition, and what it means to do “the right thing.”
