'The Four of Us' Receives San Diego Critics Circle Award

Itamar Moses' The Four of Us, which will receive its New York premiere at Manhattan Theatre Club this spring, was named "Outstanding New Play" at the 2008 San Diego Critics Circle Awards.

The Four of Us will begin previews Thursday, March 6 and open on Tuesday, March 25 at Manhattan Theatre Club at New York City Center - Stage II (131 West 55th Street). Directed by Pam MacKinnon (Peter and Jerry, Bach at Leipzig), the two-person cast will feature Gideon Banner and Michael Esper.

"When Benjamin's (Banner) first novel vaults him into literary stardom, his friend David (Esper), a struggling playwright, is thrilled for his
newfound success...or is he?  Should Benjamin help David by using his new connections?  Can David even expect such favors from his friend? And, most importantly, who should pay for lunch? THE FOUR OF US is a poignant new play about friendship and memory, the gap between our stories and our lives, and what happens when your dreams come true - for your best friend," press notes explain.

The creative team for The Four of Us includes David Zinn (scenic and costume design), Russell H. Champa (lighting design), and Daniel Baker (sound design).
