Two sets of parents come together to resolve  the  matter of  their  two 11 year  old  
sons  altercation  on a local  playground.   At  first,  all  the diplomatic  niceties   are  
observed, but  as   the   meeting   progresses, and    the   rum    flows,    tensions
emerge,   and    gloves   come   off, leaving the couples with more than just their
liberal principles in tatters.
A streamlined anatomy of the human animal ... Delivers the cathartic release of
watching other people's marriages  go boom.   A  study  in  the tension between   
civilized surface and savage instinct, this play is itself a satisfyingly primitive
entertainment."
 NY Times

Elegant, acerbic  and  entertainingly fueled on pure bile.  It's Reza's sharpest work
since
'Art".  Variety

Brutally entertaining...in another of Christopher Hampton's    exquisite    
translations,      [Reza] cannily manipulates social   observations that appeal    to    
vast    audiences     and    creates characters  that  bring  out  the best  in  actors.

Reza has  established  herself  as  a master [of] magnificently constructed plays.

What would you do if you knew that you were monitored,  health wise,  
every hour  of every day of your life?  

How do you move forward  if  you  don't  have - closure?   
How far would you go to acquire something to bury?  
What would you do,  if  you  knew  someone  who  has received  one or  
more body  parts that were "harvested" from your loved-one  and you had
no say in the matter?  

What  are  "harvested" body parts worth?

How much should a family receive as a result of "harvesting" the loved
ones body parts?
This play addresses issues  surrounding  the  "new"  science and legal  
protocols that are surrounding the issues  of "Gene Therapy" and "Body
Part Harvesting".   

Auditions  and  rehearsals begin June 9, 2012.   This play   ponders   current
and   future events,  in  the medical and legal fields, pertaining to  how death
is looked at and how we, those who are left behind, are to mourn the loss of
a loved on
