Obie Award for Best New American Play in 2013
Finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and the Susan Smith Blackburn Prizes
“a powerful, funny play about the fraying of American culture under the stress of economic uncertainty” –nytimes
"a fine and spectacularly timely new play”-Chicago Tribune
In a “first ring” suburb outside a midsize American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who’ve moved into the long-empty house next door. The fledgling friendship soon veers out of control, shattering the fragile hold that newly unemployed Ben and burgeoning alcoholic Mary have on their way of life. The quintessential American backyard party quickly turns into something more dangerous – and filled with potential.
