Our favorite theater heartthrob and self-proclaimed computer geek is back onstage, this time Off-Broadway and wearing not much more than a leather apron. Matt Doyle co-stars with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel‘s Caroline Aaron in the premiere of Matthew Lombardo’s Conversations with Mother.

The two-hander follows the decades long relationship between Bobby Callavechio and his strong-willed Italian Catholic mother Maria. But if you think this is a play about rejection and reconciliation, think again. Playwrights like Harvey Fiersteiin (Torch Song Trilogy) and Paula Vogel (Mother Play) have tackled that territory. There’s no question that Maria loves her son—but does he love himself?
