Overview
Exclusive Look:
"Bitingly funny! Reza's clever, stinging view of contemporary culture makes for a bracing burst of theater. The Everyman production, directed by Eleanor Holdridge, delivers that burst with a good deal of spark."
— The Baltimore Sun
"This is a roller coaster evening of theater not to be missed!"— MD Theatre Guide
"Highly recommended!...an impolite and completely hilarious treatise on class warfare and over-involved modern parents that is played to high-strung hilt in Everyman's production, directed with juicy bite by Eleanor Holdridge."— DC Theatre Scene
"An uproarious night of comic catastrophe!...one hysterical train-wreck blazing a trail of mayhem and madness straight to the end."— DC Metro Theater Arts
From the playwright that brought you ‘Art,’ comes this hilarious 2009 Tony Award Winner for Best Play. Two high-strung couples, Alan and Annette Raleigh and Michael and Veronica Novak, decide to meet one evening for a civilized discussion about a playground altercation between their two young sons. What follows is a comically explosive downhill slide from polite, political correctness to full-on character assassination. The New Yorker called this laugh-out-loud hilarity "ninety minutes of sustained mayhem." A no holds barred look at relationships between spouses and friends, and what happens when the littlest things end up pushing us completely over the edge…
Please note: This production contains strong language.

"For 85 taut, Tasmanian minutes, you are thrown into the train wreck of what starts out as civilized conversation between two sets of parents...Pretty soon, though, the civil meeting starts to unravel!"
