STAGE TUBE: Inside Westport Country Playhouse's LIPS TOGETHER, TEETH APART

Westport Country Playhouse has released a video, taped in rehearsal, offering a look at the upcoming summer sizzler, "Lips Together, Teeth Apart," Terrence McNally's perceptive and powerful dramatic comedy about two straight couples spending a July weekend on Fire Island, on stage July 12 - 30. The video provides insight on the play from Mark Lamos, Westport Country Playhouse artistic director and director of the production, and cast members Chris Henry Coffey, John Ellison Conlee, Jenn Gambatese and Maggie Lacey.

In a Fire Island beach house, a brother and sister and their respective spouses gather to celebrate the Fourth of July. With food, cocktails, fireworks and stinging barbs, they fortify themselves against their individual anxieties---and their gay neighbors partying in the houses on either side. The New York Times called the play "a work with real teeth and equally penetrating compassion." The play contains adult content and language.
