The perfect man. The perfect romance.
Single men are hard to come by in Cold War Germany so when Karin Maynard meets the handsome and attentive Markus Richter while on vacation abroad, it has to be fate. Or is it?

Based on a real program in East Germany in which men were trained by the Stasi to be the “perfect man” to woo West German secretaries, The Romeo Initiative is half romantic comedy and half spy thriller with a tantalizing twist.

“This play has something for everyone – it is romance, intrigue, spy thriller, and true history all rolled into one fascinating story. The premise feels fantastical and yet it is inspired by true events. I love Trina’s writing, and her work on this play is exceptional. This play will surprise you in all the best ways!”
