Three Changes
Mainstage Theater
Written by
Nicky Silver
Directed by Wilson Milam
Nate and Laurel are a comfortably married, Upper West Side couple – until Nate’s wayward brother Hal arrives from Hollywood. What at first seems a casual visit, a chance to reconnect, is quickly revealed as something more ominous. Hal may have had success, but human connection is all that matters, and he intends to make connections – no matter who pays the price. THREE CHANGES is a funny and darkly suspenseful look at the joy of family, and how far we’ll go to get it.

“A born playwright, Nicky Silver is a creator of language that unscrolls across the stage like luminous skywriting. His instinctive theatrical gracefulness is still in evidence in Three Changes.”
— Ben Brantley, The New York Times“Fiercely good acting and the taut direction of Wilson Milam make for a gripping experience. Maura Tierney shines.”
— Robert Feldberg, The Record
“Scott Cohen creates both the charm and the meanness of psychopathic Hal. Dylan McDermott gives one of the best performances of his career.”
— Alexis Greene, The Hollywood Reporter
