THE STORY:   Set in the newest "in" Manhattan restaurant, the play opens
with an ethereal waiter preparing for the arrival of a party of four. Just
as the two couples are about to enter, it magically begins to snow making
the night perfect for a cozy after-theater supper. The two middle-aged
couples, Marty and Terry, and Renee and Phil, old friends reuniting after
three years, have just seen a new Broadway play. Shedding the formality of
the theater, the four friends settle into the comfort of the restaurant,
order cocktails and begin to reacquaint themselves. The years and distance
separating them have changed them more than they thought. Discussing the
play and playing catch-up leads to little arguments and major differences
of opinion. More drinks are ordered and apologies ease the way into dinner
over which are discussed sex, the wearing of fur, matters of health and
problems with their children. Time and distance aside, these couples know
each other very well and will always be close friends. A third couple,
Emily and Matt, acquaintances of Marty and Terry, stop by the table to say
hello. After introductions, they are convinced to stay for a nightcap even
though Emily has already had too much to drink. The nightcap sends her over
the edge, and when the recent tragic death of her son is brought up, the
uncomfortable situation is made worse. Emily makes a drunken, public
spectacle of herself, forcing Matt to all but carry her out of the
restaurant. The ugliness of the moment is not lost on Marty, Terry, Renee
and Phil, all of whom are deeply effected. Having shared painful secrets
and made new discoveries about one another, the four put their
disagreements and arguments behind them and forge ahead in friendship until
next time.
