In a dingy Bronx dive bar, a young man and a young woman are nursing their drinks, avoiding the world outside. What starts as a bumbling conversation between them transforms into a heated, desperate dance — somewhere between challenging the world to battle and begging to be loved.
A darkly funny, ferociously intimate one-act play by Pulitzer Prize winner John Patrick Shanley, revived here by an independent Pittsburgh collective committed to quality professional theater — and to the artists who make it.
“This is a play about two people desperately searching for connection while carrying the weight of their pasts. What moves me most about this story is its belief that even the most damaged and isolated among us remain capable of tenderness, vulnerability, and the possibility of change.”
