"...a work with real teeth and equally penetrating compassion." - The New York Times

From the author of Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune and Master Class comes this story of two couples who gather at a Fire Island beach house to celebrate the Fourth of July. Anxious about their impending middle age, and wary of the world's hidden threats, they fortify themselves against life's disappointments with food, drink, and an escalating series of wry observations and stinging barbs. This hilarious account of people struggling against their limitations is as perceptive about the way we live today as any comedy the American theater has produced in years.
