Frankie & Johnny in the
Clair de Lune
By Terrence McNally
A bittersweet comedy that combines poignancy and laughter as it traces an unlikely romance that begins to develop between two middle-aged ‘losers’: a waitress who has had more than her share of disappointments in life and a short order cook who is still a romantic in spite of one broken marriage. Sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious, the possibility of a relationship beyond a one night stand might somehow emerge.

At first, all the diplomatic niceties are observed, but as the meeting progresses, and the rum flows, tensions emerge and the gloves come off, leaving the two couples with more than just their liberal principles in tatters.
