The play had its world premiere at the Humana Festival of New American Plays in Louisville, Kentucky on February 29, 2008. The play was commissioned by the Actors Theatre of Louisville 〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Actors Theatre of Louisville )〕 after the success of Gionfriddo's last play, ''After Ashley'', at the 2004 Humana Festival. Directed by Peter Dubois, the cast featured Annie Parisse.〔Jones, Kenneth. ("Annie Parisse Is Gionfriddo's 'Becky Shaw' at Humana Fest" ) playbill.com, February 29, 2008〕 Charles Isherwood reviewed the play for ''The New York Times'', writing: "The new play marks an impressive stride for a writer with a saw-toothed wit and a seductive interest in exploring the rewards and responsibilities of emotional interdependence...''Becky Shaw'' is a thoroughly enjoyable play, suspenseful, witty and infused with an unsettling sense of the potential for psychic disaster inherent in almost any close relationship."〔Isherwood, Charles. ("New Plays Exploring Difficult Relations" ) ''The New York Times'', April 1, 2008〕
After the play opened to critical acclaim at the Humana Festival, it was soon announced that Second Stage Theatre would play host to its Off-Broadway debut in the winter of 2008-09. Performances began at Second Stage on December 16, 2008 in previews, officially opening on January 8, 2009. This production saw the return of director Peter DuBois along with original cast members Annie Parisse (as Becky Shaw) and David Wilson Barnes. The cast featured Emily Bergl, Kelly Bishop, and Thomas Sadoski.〔Hernandez, Ernio. ("Annie Parisse Is 'Becky Shaw' Beginning Dec. 16 at Second Stage" ) playbill.com, December 16, 2008〕 Kelly Bishop was cast as Susan, a woman with MS who hooks up with a man much younger than herself, and quite disreputable. Susan, a domineering woman, also has quite a dysfunctional relationship with her daughter Suzanna (Emily Berg) in the play.〔(【引用サイトリンク】work=Gilmore Girls News )〕 Due to positive reception and strong box office numbers, performances were extended through March 15, 2009.〔Gans, Andrew and Hernandez, Ernio.
