Ice Cream for Breakfast

Ice Cream for Breakfast is a play about Diego, an ordinary New Yorker in his early 30s whose inner life is split between two arguing voices in his head: Hugo, the anxious rationalist, and Sid, the raw impulsive id.

As Diego grinds through subway commutes, corporate jargon, and the dopamine-loop of dating apps, a promising first date with Phoebe briefly feels like a lifeline — until he’s suddenly laid off and then ghosted, sending him spiraling into paranoia, bingeing, and a brutal reckoning with what he actually wants.
