Six Degrees of Separation

This Pulitzer Prize finalist and Olivier Award-winning play is a fascinating and compassionate commentary on what drives people: the desire for money, fame, social standing, comfort, and a desire for meaningful human connection. Based on an actual incident when a man gained access to the homes of upper-class New Yorkers by pretending to be the son of actor Sidney Poitier, Six Degrees of Separation centers on art dealers Ouisa and Flan Kittredge and the young man who disrupts, and possibly enriches, their privileged, Upper East Side lives.
