ABOUT
Winner: 2012 New York Times Outstanding Playwright Award
Finalist: 2013 Susan Smith Blackburn Prize
Nominee: 2013 Drama Desk Award, Outstanding Play
Mad March Hare in association with Red Line Productions at the Old Fitz present the Sydney premiere of Amy Herzog's multi award-winning play.
Young Americans Zack and Abby have the perfect ex-pat life in Paris: a funky bohemian apartment in up-and-coming Belleville; a stable marriage and Zack’s noble mission to fight pediatric AIDS. But when Abby finds Zack at home one afternoon when he’s supposed to be at work, the questions and answers that follow shake the foundation of their seemingly beautiful life.

"Singing and compelling in its sadness." Jason Blake -Eight Nights a Week

“Engrossing. ….complex…. relentlessly surprising." Hartford Arts Examiner
