Pulitzer Prize finalist. Somewhere in the suburbs of a mid-sized city, Ben and Mary welcome into their lives the rootless couple who move in next door. But as this foursome bonds over backyard barbecues, the neighborly connection they find threatens to unravel the lives they've built and change them forever. An ecstatic, dangerous new comedy, Detroit exposes the nerves that live just under the surface of American life.

FUNNY AS HELL. Expertly written, directed and acted.

Elisabeth Vincentelli, New York Post

5 STARS. SUPERBLY EXECUTED. Cascading, hilarious monologues with musical, juicy, idea-packed language. Anne Kauffman’s production unites an optimal cast and eerily vivid design. Detroit has just moved in; I suggest you bring over a fruit basket or bottle of wine and hope it stays for a good long time.

Powerful and funny. Speaks to the fractious, frightened American moment more perceptively than any play I've seen on a New York stage.
