A new production of John Patrick Shanley's comic drama, an explosive, affecting study of alienation and the redemptive power of love.
In a rundown bar in the Bronx, two of society's rejects, Danny and Roberta, strike up a halting conversation over a beer. He is a brooding, self-loathing young man who resorts more to violence than reason; she is a divorced, guilt-ridden young woman whose troubled teenage son is now being cared for by her parents. As their initial reserve begins to melt, and they decide to spend the night together, the possibility of a genuine and meaningful relationship begins to emerge the first for both of them.
