In this savage Tony Award winning comedy, a playground altercation between eleven-year-old boys brings together two sets of Brooklyn parents for a meeting to resolve the matter. At first, diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.

Roles are available for two women and two men, ages 35 to 50. All races and ethnicities are encouraged to audition.

Characters:

VERONICA HOULLIE (Female) Perhaps the most benevolent of the bunch. Instead of resorting to litigation regarding her son’s injury, she believes that they can all come to an agreement about how amends can be made. She exhibits the strongest desire for harmony.

MICHAEL HOULLIE (Male) At first, Michael seems eager to create peace between the two boys and perhaps even bond with the Reilles. He is quick to agree with the Reilles, even making light of the violence, commenting on how he was a leader of his own gang during his childhood.

ANNETTE REILLE (Female) She is constantly on the brink of a panic attack. Unfortunately, the pressures of motherhood and household have eroded her self-confidence. Annette feels abandoned by her husband who is eternally preoccupied with work.

ALAN REILLE (Male) A “type A” lawyer. He is the most openly rude because he frequently interrupts their meeting by talking on his cell phone. He claims that his son is a savage and doesn’t see any point in trying to change him. He seems the most sexist of the two men, often implying that women have a host of limitations.
