About the Play:
In a typical upper middle class household on the East Side of
Manhattan, the Kittredges are busy entertaining an old friend of
theirs ('"A friend from South Africa!") who they hope will lend them
the funds for a major art deal. Just as the three set out for dinner,
they have a surprise visitor - a young black man, who has been stabbed
and is in dire need of some first aid.

The play, set to the tune of a fine cocktail conversation, pieces
together events that happened around this one night. Light, farcical
and yet deeply insightful, John Guare whisks us through several worlds
and moods at breathtaking speed. With every narration the characters
slice through another layer of invisible wall, another degree if you
will, to get closer to solving some nagging mysteries around the young
man.

About the author:

John Guare wrote this award-winning play based on a real event that happened in the late 90s. With creative liberties and crafty use of stage space, Guare gives us a wonderfully imaginative, yet credible story of New Yorkers struggling to stay up the social ladder and yet yearning for that genuine human connection.

Note: This play is suitable only for a mature adult audience.
