WHAT IS IT ABOUT?

Manhattan Theatre Club presents the New York premiere of The Four of Us, written by Itamar Moses and directed by Pam MacKinnon.

When Benjamin's first novel vaults him into literary stardom, his friend David, a struggling playwright, is thrilled for his newfound success...or is he?
