MOUTH TO MOUTH
By Kevin Elyot
Directed by Mark Brokaw
Featuring Christopher Abbott, David Cale, Lisa Emery, Darren Goldstein, Elizabeth Jasicki, Andrew Polk, Richard Topol
Frank, a gay writer living with AIDS, attends a party at his friend Laura's house to celebrate the return of her teenage son from abroad. As the story shifts back and forth through time, it's clear that Frank may have played an unscrupulous part in the unraveling of his best girlfriend's family. Nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Play, Kevin Elyot's West End smash is a haunting, twisting tale of undeclared passion and the fine line between intimacy and betrayal.
A “deftly acted production from the New Group.”
“Kevin Elyot shares Chekhov’s sense of life as a tragic comedy and conveys it through beautifully written, often funny encounters that throb with isolation and longing.” - The New York Times
