A comedy, a mystery, an allegory,
“… one of the most thrilling new plays on Broadway”, Greg Evans, Deadline, and “… you have never seen anything like it.”, Rex Reed, The Observer.
It’s just another council meeting in the small town of Big Cherry. The bumbling, dishonest, substance abused, and ridiculous council persons enter one by one. All is well, that is until the newcomer, Mr. Peel starts asking uncomfortable questions. Having missed the last meeting to attend his mother’s funeral he feels out of the loop and quickly becomes aware that things have changed — and no one wants to talk about it. Emotions get heated, tension mounts, until someone is brave enough to tell the painful truth.
This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held North American narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s losers. Join the Big Cherry City Council members as they debate, quibble, argue, and cajole to the ultimate end.
“It’s among the best new plays on Broadway in years” Variety
