2009 Tony Award for Best Play


And you thought the kids were trouble!  The gloves come off and all hell breaks loose when two sets of parents meet to discuss the playground altercation between their two eleven year-old sons.   What starts out as a civilized conversation about apologies and minor injuries, quickly escalates into a wild inter-parental melee of infantile behavior and unthinkable actions.  An outrageous, explosive comedy that will leave you shrieking with laughter, gasping with disbelief and screaming “They didn’t just do that!”

Sponsored by The Karma Foundation

Notes from David: “This wild 90-minute ride of hysterical passion struck me as the perfect fit for George Street Playhouse – speaking eloquently to both the head and the heart.”

“Rancidly Funny”  - The Guardian

“As the two couples gradually drop their civilized veneer … the hilarity increases incrementally”   - Hollywood Reporter
