WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
The New Group presents Servicemen, a new play by Evan Smith. This New York premiere follows a draft-dodging playboy and a lonely socialite who cruise WWII-era New York City nightlife, competing for the affections of departing servicemen until one young soldier's patriotic sacrifice turns their world upside down. Sean Mathias directs.
