“...delivers the cathartic release of watching other people’s marriages go boom. A study in the tension between a civilized surface and savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive entertainment.”—NY Times.
“Elegant, acerbic and entertainingly fueled on pure bile. It’s Reza’s best work since ‘Art’.”—Variety.
Featuring Michael King, Bob Mackasek, Claire McKinney and Elizabeth Royce.
About the Summit Playhouse
Since its founding in 1918, the Summit Playhouse has produced over 300 productions, making it one of the oldest continuously operating community theaters in the United States. The historic institution is devoted to maintaining the practice of theatre arts and encouraging those interested in all aspects of the performing arts and its operations. The Playhouse presents three shows a year: a Fall show in October and November, a Winter show in February and March, and a Spring show in April and May. During the Summer, Kaleidoscope theater for youth, presents a production for - and with! - students. The Playhouse is located off Springfield Avenue, just west of the Summit business district. The Playhouse’s original stone structure was constructed in 1891 and housed Summit’s first library.
