AN ENTiRELY ORDiNARY TOWN
(EXCEPT YOU EXPLODE WHEN YOU TOUCH)
(AND NOBODY FALLS iN LOVE)
ABOUT THE SHOW
In a world without love, can you still fall into it?
An Entirely Ordinary Town is anything but that. When you touch, you explode.
So ‘ordinary’ is about staying apart. Avoiding connection. But the far from ordinary hearts of Jay and Ava find themselves developing strong feelings for one another that go beyond any word they’ve ever encountered…
Jay and Ava dive headfirst through a portal to another world where they can live out this dream and unintentionally send ripples back through their old town. Now its existence hangs in the balance, swarmed with questions about this word ‘love’, and the honey and poison it spreads.
Jay and Ava’s new life in the real world is soon riddled with familiar relationship challenges, and as the duality of the word sharpens. These two naive hearts are forced to discover that love is so much more than just a four-letter-word.
