Manhattan Theatre Club's critically acclaimed production of Itamar Moses' THE FOUR OF US has extended its limited engagement by popular demand through Sunday, May 18 at New York City Center - Stage II (131 West 55th Street).
Manhattan Theatre Club's production of Itamar Moses' The Four Of Us officially opened last night, Tuesday, March 25 at New York City Center - Stage II (131 West 55th Street). The production began previews on Thursday, March 6.
Directed by Pam MacKinnon (Peter and Jerry, Bach at Leipzig), the two-person cast features 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.
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).
Itamar Moses' The Four Of Us was named 'Outstanding New Play' at the 2008 San Diego Critics Circle Awards.
