Plot: Recent college grads Angela and Allison move to NYC to find money and happiness NOW. They shun low-paying jobs, hit the clubs and make strange new “friends,” including a socially inept Wall Street broker, a young man drawn to crime victims, a crime victim, a man determined to prevent more people from becoming crime victims and the celebrated author of a fictional memoir. Critics have called it, "Jet-black comedy... A witty, intellectually engaging exploration of what it means to make one's way in the world... lighthearted, but never shallow…a kick-ass play.” |
