Donald Margulies'
Dinner with Friends

Directed by Mary Rowland

Married couple Gabe and Karen plan to dish up a spicy gourmet Italian meal to their closest friends, Tom and Beth, a couple they have known for years. Beth arrives alone, however, and immediately after feasting on pumpkin risotto, she admits that Tom is not present because he has left her. The announcement of the breakup sends both couples on a rollercoaster ride that takes them into uncharted territory in their friendships and marriages. This Pulitzer Prize winning play delivers a spicy and complex feast of friendship, heartbreak, and long term love in dialogue that is at turns witty and poignant.

"Margulies writes about relationships with such intelligence and spiky humor that his comedy-drama …becomes something quite wonderful." - Time Magazine
