Synopsis

“A remarkably fresh and witty piece of writing.” —Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune“The first half of the play follows a night of Kevin, Andy, and Mike’s barroom chatter. Neveu gets it exactly right: the staccato rhythm, the pregnant pauses, the sheer sad triviality of the whole empty conversation that too many of us have every night with our buddies after work. Mike, a bit dim but endlessly eager, repeats soundbites that he’s heard or misheard, these substitutes for actual ideas keeping the conversation flowing. Andy is the go-getter who says all the right things, drops all the right names, thinks all the right thoughts. (Neveu captures his voice brilliantly, especially the endless stream of buzzwords — names of people and places that we are instantly able to peg from their context.)” —Martin Denton, nytheatre.comAbout the author:“Perhaps the city’s closest equivalent to a young [David] Mamet.” —Chris Jones, The Chicago Tribune“One of the most prolific, intelligent, and innovative playwrights to write in Chicago in years, maybe decades.” —Jack Helbig, PerformInk“The bard of midwestern angst.” —Lucia Mauro, Chicago Magazine“Make no mistake. This is an author worth watching, and listening to.” —Michael Phillips, The Chicago Tribune
