A.R. Gurney is one of the most prolific playwrights in America, and The Cocktail Hour is one of his best. Set in upstate New York in the mid-1970s, this witty and urbane play follows John, a playwright who returns home to get his family’s permission to produce a new play he’s written about them. But his stuffy upper-class parents have concerns, as does his self-centered sister—who wants a bigger role! The confrontation spills over into cocktail hour, when recriminations (and martinis) start to flow.
