When one couple's marriage fails, what does that mean for their married friends?
This is a question explored in Donald Margulies' Pulitzer-winning drama "Dinner With Friends," coming this November to Circle Players.
In their Connecticut home, Karen and Gabe, international food writers, are hosting a dinner for their married best friends, Beth and Tom. Beth arrives alone, and it soon emerges that Tom has left her for another woman.
Gabe and Karen are almost as crushed as Beth is, having expected "to grow old and fat together, the four of us." Sides are taken and defenses are made – but the real turmoil brewing is between Karen and Gabe, who suddenly find their faith in their own marriage shaken to the core.
Performances will take place at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays Nov. 20-Dec. 5, and at 3 p.m. Dec. 6. Tickets cost $18 for adults and $17 for seniors/students.
Before the matinee Dec. 6, the theater will host a "Brunch with Friends" event, featuring pancakes, eggs and conversation. Tickets cost $10 for the brunch, which begins at noon. Tickets will be available online and at the door.
"Dinner with Friends" is directed by Tom Frascatore.
Circle Players is located at 416 Victoria Ave, Piscataway. For more information. call the theater at (732) 968-7555 or visit www.circleplayers.org.
