This darkly comic and provocative play explores the question of whether people can be married and truly love each other when their political persuasions are diametrically opposed. New York power couple John and Natalie are hosting a dinner for Elliot, a friend from their days as college radicals. Also invited to the party is Mark, a strait-laced young man from John's risk management firm. With the help of a few too many expensive bottles of wine, the group's past and their long buried secrets resurface. Over the course of this raucous evening, their basic belief systems are upended, as the four must come to terms with what happens when we try to reconcile our idealism with reality. This high-society evening is about to turn into a night of sexually charged mind-games that could change their lives forever. 'A buoyant game of badminton with witty dialogue.' -New York Times 'A WHO'S AFRAID OF VRIGINIA WOOLF? of sixties counterculture ... radical chic becomes radical pique! A slick play by David Hay.' -John Lahr, The New Yorker 'This much alcohol hasn't been consumed on stage, nor this much dirty laundry aired by a warring foursome, since Edward Albee's WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF!' -Time Out New York 'A darkly comic American tragedy by David Hay. You have to ... feel it for yourself! A PERFECT FUTURE proves that one single drunken evening can change your world dramatically. The action is so captivating, that it left me in a daze, reeling from the emotional roller coaster ride.' -Sarah Lucie, Show Business Weekly

  • Mississippi Goddamn
    Jonathan Norton
       “Some shows have warnings for strobe lights. Some have them for loud gunshots.  Some for smoke.   MISSISSIPPI GODDAMN, a new play by Jonathan Norton should have one for intensity.   Granted, anyone attending a play about civil rights pioneer Medgar Evers set in 1963 Jackson, Mississippi, should expect some strife. Blood in the battle for racial equality is no surprise, but f...

    Georges Feydeau / Laurence Senelick
       “It seems to me that for fertility in droll inventions, the perpetual outpouring of unforeseen misunderstandings, for the inexhaustible gaiety of dialogue, Feydeau’s new play is superior to everything he’s written so far. The most astonishing thing is the sureness with which everything is controlled, explained, justified, in the most extravagant buffoonery. The cross-purpose...

    Betty Shamieh
       “Plenty of glamorous backstabbing, diva dissing and sexual double-crossing…has every right to claim the name Dynasty for itself.  But the title character in Betty Shamieh’s bouncy, bumpy comic melodrama is the real thing. A queen, I mean, and not just of the self-dramatizing type. Scratch that. She’s more than a queen. She’s a pharaoh, one Hatshepsut, who reigned over Egypt ...
