We saw this play at The Gate Theatre on Saturday.
Very funny and enjoyable piece of theater.
Two modern couples are brought together to discuss their sons, who got into a fight at school. By the end of the play it's clear that these modern "helicopter" adults, surrounded by the trappings of success, are no more mature or reasonable than their 11-year old kids...
This play by French playwright Yasmina Reza ("Art") in a translation by Christopher Hampton is a recipient of both the Olivier Award for Best New Comedy in London and the Tony Award for Best Play in New York.
This is a punchy, yet spare, piece of writing. Not a word or a movement is wasted.
Highly recommended...
