Detroit at Chelsea Theatre Works

The deliciously dark comedy Detroit -- a finalist for the Pulitzer Prize and winner of the 2013 Obie Award for Best New American Play -- finds suburban couple Ben and Mary hosting a cookout to welcome their new neighbors, free spirits Sharon and Kenny. But the casual barbecue soon turns into a delirious and dangerous bacchanal, shattering the fragile hold Ben and Mary have on their way of life -- with shocking consequences. Detroit is a bitingly humorous look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves to something new, challenging our assumptions about status, comfort, ambition and community. Written by Lisa D'Amour (Ten Thousand Things, Nita and Zita), Detroit was one of The New York Times' top plays of 2012, and had the high honor of being named a Barrymore Recommended production for 2014. Don't miss the Apollinaire Theatre Company production of this cutting-edge comedy at the Chelsea Theatre Works.
