“This absorbing, twisty, and thoughtful play is the finest play of the year!”
CHARLES ISHERWOOD, THE WALL STREET JOURNAL
Off Broadway’s new hit about love, faith, and Brooklyn is “absorbing, twisty, and thoughtful—and the finest play of the year" (The Wall Street Journal).
In The Wanderers, two couples from very different worlds face the joys and challenges of commitment, culture, and community—until a surprise email from a movie star puts one of their marriages to an unexpected test. Now extended through April 2 only, this “perfectly cast, superlative Roundabout Theatre Company production” (as The Wall Street Journal goes on to say), asks the vital question: Can we ever be happy with what we have while we have it?
Running time: 105 Minutes with no intermission.

The back of the stage is a large wall constructed of open books, and blue light shines through the cracks. A man and woman sit on opposite sides of a table, a woman crouches in a chair, and a man and woman speak to each other on the side.
