Stuck with the kids on his only Boys’ Night Out, a tough-talking father, Marty, has no choice but to drag along his two sons to his favorite club in the city. A normally absent, emotionally distant father, Marty now has sole custody of Joey and Frankie after his ex-wife’s heroin addiction has deemed her unfit to parent. Not knowing how to connect, Marty abandons the boys in the bathroom all night. Ran Wild is the story of two boys lost in the night.

Never Swim Alone won the award for overall excellence at the New York Fringe in 1998 and in 2002; it is a swift, funny satire about two Alpha-males and their ruthless competition for the title of Top Dog. The play is structured as a surreal egotistic boxing match: Frank and Bill, two guys in dark suits, square off in a 13 round Battle Royale of vicious undermining and one-upmanship.

One ticket gets you into performances for both shows.
