WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Annie and Nate have a baby who won't sleep. Claire and Luke are losing sleep over the decision to get married and start a family. In adjacent Brooklyn Heights apartments, Daniel Goldfarb's newest and wittiest look at love, sex, commitment and parenthood unfolds and no one will rest until the truth between each of these couples is spoken.
The two-person cast features Tony nominee Maria Dizzia and Greg Keller.

In Daniel Goldfarb's two one-acts being presented at Manhattan Theatre Club under the title
Cradle and All -- directed with humor and sensitivity by Sam Buntrock -- we meet Luke, who's not "ready" either, and Nate, who is experiencing consequences from being "ready" and having had a child.
In the first -- and stronger -- of the plays, "Infantry," 34-year-old Luke (Greg Keller), an antiques salesman, comes home to 41-year-old wife Claire (Maria Diz[...]
