ABOUT THE PLAY

Written by Terrence McNally, one of America's pre-eminent dramatists (Master Class, Kiss of the Spider Woman, The Full Monty), Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune is the hard-hitting, but ultimately redeeming romance of a waitress and a short-order cook, both on the cusp of middle age, both facing a lifetime of solitude in an anonymous purgatory called New York City.

Author McNally brings Frankie and Johnny together through a sort of kismet, a cosmic kinship forged through two lives of hardship that coincide at certain key points. The only thing holding them together is Johnny's unshakable belief that together they can build something greater. Sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious, they banter and spar their way through an evening of what may either turn out to be just another one-night stand…or the happily-ever-after ending both desperately long for, but are afraid to believe could really exist.
