WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Neil Pepe directs the world premiere of Adam Rapp's Dreams of Flying Dreams of Falling.
Dr. Bertram and Sandra Cabot invite long time friends Dirk and Celeste Von Stofenberg to their beautiful Connecticut Gold Coast home in honor of James, the Von Stofenberg's only son, who has recently been released from an esteemed private psychiatric hospital.
The feast promises to be delicious, but when Sandra enlists Dirk to help her change the course of her life, the sky turns a strange color, Canadian geese start crashing into the bay window, and the fate of the evening tilts toward an inevitable conclusion that promises to change the lives of all who came to the table.

There's a heavy dose of symbolism in Adam Rapp's oddly compelling new play, Dreams of Flying Dreams of Falling, being presented by the Atlantic Theater Company at Classic Stage Company's East 13th Street Theatre. And while certain of the play's passages come across as a little too heavy-handed, there's plenty of meaty dialogue and bizarre interactions for director Neil Pepe and his talented cast -- led by the superb Christine Lahti -- to dig into.
Set in the dining room of a wealthy Caucasian family in Connecticut (tastefully realized by set designers Andrew Boyce and Takeshi Kata), the play begins as Dr. Bertram Cabot (Reed Birney) and wife Sandra (Lahti) are playing host to their friend,[...]
