Présentation de l'éditeur
"I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation. . . It's a profound thought. . . How every person is a new door, opening up into other worlds."
Six Degrees of Separation is a modern American classic play: an explosive comedy that exposes white middle-class hypocrisy and prejudice.
The play is a sharp, witty but serious exploration of the individual in society and the values or beliefs which motivate them. A young African-American man gains access to the homes of upper-class New Yorkers by pretending to be the son of actor Sidney Poitier. Treated with suspicion and then affection, he soon wreaks havoc in their comfortable lives.
The play first opened off-Broadway in 1990 and, after playing to sold-out houses and ovating audiences, it was produced internationally and made into a blockbuster film starring Donald Sutherland, Stockard Channing and Will Smith in 1994. It won numerous awards, including an Olivier and New York Drama Critics' Circle Award.

Paperback. Etat : Very Good. 'I read somewhere that everybody on this planet is separated by only six other people. Six degrees of separation. It's a profound thought. How every person is a new door, opening up into other worlds.' Six Degrees of Separation is a modern American classic: an explosive comedy of two worlds colliding. When Ouisa and Flan Kittredge let an injured young man into their home in the middle of the night, they open the door onto an apparently new and enticing world. Inspired by the real-life story of a flamboyant con artist who convince wealthy Manhattan residents that he was the son of actor Sidney Poitier, Six Degrees of Separation is a captivating study of society's pretensions exposed by one man's self-confidence and imagination. An extraordinary high comedy in which broken connections, mistaken identities and tragic social, familial and cultural schisms create an hilarious and finally searing panorama of urban America in precisely our time.' - New York Times. The book has been read, but is in excellent condition. Pages are intact and not marred by notes or highlighting. The spine remains undamaged. N° de réf. du vendeur GOR001836978
