At a quiet country bookstore, yoga teacher Lisa accidentally runs into Tanya, the woman who destroyed her marriage and nearly got her killed, only to find that there is now one more thing Tanya would like from her: physical punishment. Told through a series of escalating flashbacks, Will You Please Hit Me?’s distinct dark comedic tone and characters were born of a devising process involving stories from the actors lives, abstract movement, and improvisation.
