“… a tense, terrific, funny new play.” –New York Observer

In a first-ring suburb just outside a city that might be Detroit, Ben and Mary see sudden signs of life in the deserted house next door and invite their new neighbors Sharon and Kenny over for a barbecue. The quintessential American backyard party quickly turns into something more dangerous. These fraying people might be able to save each other, if they can just make it through dinner.

The New York Times called this dark comedy “rich and addictively satisfying”.
