The caliber of the acting was not very good. With a better cast, the play might have been more enjoyable, but this version fell far short of our expectations.

The play had so much promise (based on the write up) but it ended up being slow and boring :(

Description


Set in the newest “in” Manhattan restaurant, the play opens with an ethereal waiter preparing for the arrival of a party of four. Just as the two couples are about to enter, it magically begins to snow making the night perfect for a cozy after-theater supper. The two middle-aged couples, Marty and Terry, and Renee and Phil, old friends reuniting after three years, have just seen a new Broadway play. Shedding the formality of the theater, the four friends settle into the comfort of the restaurant, order cocktails and begin to reacquaint themselves. Perhaps best known as half of the comedy team, Stiller and Meara, the highly respected actress Anne Meara’s playwriting debut about the bittersweet reunion of four old friends has been called "an astonishingly strong first play” (Newsday).
