A brilliant comedy of manners…without the manners
By Yasmina Reza
Translated by Christopher Hampton
Directed by Jeanie K. Smith
While gathered around a coffee table sporting imported tulips and liberally covered with art books, two very civilized married couples meet to amicably resolve a playground altercation between their 11-year-old sons. One boy admits to whacking the other with a stick, breaking two front teeth. And both sets of parents agree that boys will be boys. But civility quickly takes a backseat when parental impulses kick in. In this winner of the 2009 Tony Award and coveted Olivier Award, the full-force of human chaos is unleashed – and the results are ferociously funny!
November 2 - 17, 2013, preview November 1
“A walloping good time!” – Bloomberg
NOTE: Parental discretion advised, adult language.
