Quake premiered in the 2001 Humana Festival at the Actors Theatre of Louisville. “Quake tells the story of Lucy, who traverses the continent in search of an elusive balance between independence and commitment, career and family, extraordinary achievement and ordinary existence. In a succession of surreal, contorted affairs, she fails to reconcile her driving need for ideal love with the realities of modern romance. On her way, she is distracted by an obsession with ‘That Woman,’ a notoriously brilliant serial-killer and astrophysicist — America’s Most Wanted Woman. ‘That Woman’ coaches Lucy as she zags across the continent and zigs through her many relationships in search of ‘The Big Love.’
