Detroit: A Play

The Pulitzer Prize-finalist play that "speaks to the fractious, frightened American moment" through the lives two couples and their strained friendship (Charles Isherwood, The New York Times). In a "first ring" suburb of a midsize 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 that newly unemployed Ben and burgeoning alcoholic Mary have on their way of life—with unexpected comic consequences. Detroit is a fresh, offbeat look at what happens when we dare to open ourselves up to something new. After premiering at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre to rave reviews, Lisa D'Amour's brilliant and timely play won the 2013 Obie Award, as well as becoming a finalist for the Pulitzer and Susan Smith Blackburn Awards.
