John Patrick Shanley, the critically acclaimed author of Doubt has written a poignant and edgy comedy in which three former grade school classmates find themselves at a run-down Bronx bar presided over by a bartender who habitually waters his dead plants. As they try to figure out how to change their mostly empty lives, and one another, circumstances conspire to keep them exactly where they are. This is “a funny and penetrating story where everything and nothing happens, where “alone” can be the cruelest or most freeing word of all.”
