( Craig Lucas Full Length, Comedy/Drama Characters: 3 m...)
Craig Lucas Full Length, Comedy/Drama Characters: 3 male, 4 female Unit set. A long running Off-Broadway hit by the author of Reckless and God's Heart. Before, during and after a Manhattan dinner party, the guests are revealed with touching comic irony as a cross-section of modern day humanity. The colorful cast includes a narcissistic actor, a parachute instructor, an aspiring songwriter, a secretary and a lesbian couple. "The function of the piece isn't to narrate the events of this typical New York gathering, it's to angle their disparate fragments into a picture of our life today, of its disconnections and the way in which they mysteriously connect us."-Village Voice "An affecting, funny account of a night in some lonely Manhattan lives."-WQXR "What Blue Window suggests with the evasiveness of its party chatter and the chill of its most searing monologue is that people are unknowable and life is made up of random pieces of a puzzle that don't fit together the way we think they should."-Newsday
