By way of Chicago’s famed Steppenwolf theatre comes a new x-ray of the embattled American psyche. In a “first ring” suburb outside a mid-sized American city, Ben and Mary fire up the grill to welcome the new neighbors who’ve moved into the long-empty house next door. The fledgling friendship soon veers out of control, shattering the fragile hold Ben and Mary have on their way of life.
Winner of the 2013 Obie Award for Best New American Play and a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize, DETROIT is a fresh, off-beat look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves up to something new.
“Disturbing and bracingly funny…
a smart, tart critique of the country’s fraying social fabric...This scary-funny comedy speaks to the fractious, frightened American moment more perceptively than any play I've ever seen on a New York stage.”
— The New York Times
“A brilliantly observed piece of art about a particular time and place. That time is now—and by now I mean the current post-recessionary America. That place is a pair of backyards in the suburb of a great American city that
has been rocked on its heels.”
-The Chicago Tribune
