by A. R. Gurney, directed by Mary Ann Rodgers

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.
