Winner of the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this highly celebrated play by Donald Margulies (Time Stands Still) returns to the New York stage with direction by Tony Award® winner Pam MacKinnon (Clybourne Park, Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf?).
Ever since Karen and Gabe played matchmaker with their friends Beth and Tom, the two couples have been inseparable—going to the Vineyard every summer, raising their kids and enjoying countless dinners together. But when one marriage unexpectedly crumbles, the couples' lives begin to veer in opposite directions. Can these four friends move on to the next chapter without moving apart… or have they changed beyond recognition?
Wryly funny and richly layered, Dinner With Friends is a modern masterpiece about the path you choose, the millions you don’t and the detours that make it worth the ride.
