Minetta Lane Theatre
18 Minetta Lane, New York, NY 10014
New York City can be the loneliest place on earth. In a one-bedroom apartment in Manhattan, two co-workers meet for a first date. What begins as small talk quickly unravels into an achingly tender chamber piece about attraction, secrets, and the desperate need for connection. Don’t miss the first major New York revival of Tom Noonan’s play that inspired the Grand Jury Prize-winning 1994 Sundance film. What does it cost to let someone else in?

Presented in repertory with Sexual Misconduct of the Middle Classes and New Born by Audible Theater and TOGETHER.
