Hearts Like Fists

Theatre of NOTE
1517 N. Cahuenga Blvd. Hollywood

Hearts Like Fists, by Adam Szymkowicz, is a genre-bending world premiere love story. HEARTS LIKE FISTS is set in a world of evil villains and beautiful Crime Fighters! The evil Dr. X is stealing into lovers’ rooms and injecting them with a serum, stopping their hearts while they sleep entwined in the perceived safety of their lovers’ arms. And even though the beautiful and unstoppable Crime Fighters have been hot on his trail, they have been unable to capture him. Lisa, a woman who is desired by every man that sees her, has fallen in love with Peter, the ingenious but tortured doctor, who is about to finish his greatest creation - an artificial heart. Since Peter can't let himself love, he loses himself in his work. Since Lisa can't have Peter, she joins the Crime Fighters. In this funny, stylized and vicious story, we learn that the heart wants what the heart wants and not answering its desires will lead to a life of sadness, loneliness and possibly evil destruction.

  Review Round-Up

Los Angeles Times - Recommended

"...Staged for what is surely less than Christopher Nolan’s weekly tea budget, “Hearts Like Fists” is the perfect summer date show: exhilarating, nerdy-sexy, and silly-smart. Try finding that on Fandango."

LAist - Recommended

"...The script could stand to lose a few of the countless descriptions of lovelorn woe that slow it down every scene or two, but director Jaime Robledo usually manages to pick the pace back up before too long. And Keith Allan is perfectly brilliant throughout as the classic comic book villain Dr. X."

Stage Scene LA - Recommended

"...Director Jaime Robledo, fresh from his Sacred Fools smashes Watson and Stoneface, now pops over to Theatre Of NOTE to stage Szymkowicz’s latest, a collaboration that leads to one of this summer’s most exciting thrill ride-like treats."

CurtainUp - Recommended

"...Pow! Hearts Like Fists connects. Adam Szymkowicz’s crowd-pleaser is a smashingly funny mash-up of action comics and rom-coms. The plot meanders and even gets muddled. But Jaime Robledo’s sure-footed production is a chop-socky kick in the butt."
