Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune
  by Terrence McNally  

August 2 - September 7, 2003

"A waitress and a short-order cook have sex, bicker, and perhaps muddle through to something more lasting during a night when the moonlight through her Hell's Kitchen window mingles with Debussy's The enchanted spell of intimacy! What may be the most incisive post-coital dialogue written for the stage. Looking into apartment building windows is presented as a spectator sport in Frankie and Johnny. And the play itself offers something of the same voyeuristic thrill." - Ben Brantley, New York Times
