Although they’re both in long-term relationships, Yorke and Zegen both remember the occasionally dark days of singlehood and the tiring ritual of meeting strangers night after night in Miriam Battye’sStrategic Love Play, which is now playing Off-Broadway through Dec. 7 at Audible’s Minetta Lane Theatre.
