Raul has entered Evie's life and she falls hard for the handsome man. She is now torn between her fantasy and her real life. She does not want to give up her fantasy life, not from past disturbances or spiritual conviction—she simply is scared of having sex with Raul. What happens next I won't tell.

In Love and Warcraft has some wonderful characters, such as Kitty the loud best friend who is sort of a nymphomaniac; a high-spirited and campy gay hairdresser; a loud-mouth non-sexual partner in the online game who lives in his parent's basement; and a woman gynecologist who actually gives Evie her first organism.

The game is portrayed late in the drama. This is a bold and inventive move on the playwright's part, though it does not help the plot much. However, it is fun to see all of the characters dressed up as warriors and villains. We see that the "monster" comes back what seems like a dozen times in that scene. It might have been better if the video game scene were threaded throughout the two-hour comedy/drama.

Monica Ho gives an engaging performance as Evie. Her wonderful, expressive face reveals Evie's longings, pangs, and susceptibilities. Laura Espino is excellent as the bouncing, sensual Kitty, her roommate. Ed Berkeley, a recent transplant from the New England theatre region, is splendid as Raul, while Drew Reitz is fine as the loud mouth Ryan. Amanda Farbstein and Sal Mattos play many parts; Sal is especially wonderful when he camps up superbly as the fey hairdresser, and Amanda as a woman geologist examining Evie's lower parts.

Bottom line here, this is a cute little sitcom comedy well played by the cast and well directed by James Nelson.
