Dre and Des are young, gifted and Black; he stayed, she left, and years later they crash back into each other's lives carrying secrets and old scars. Benedict Lombe's play moves between memory and reality under Lynette Linton's direction, with Daniel Ezra of All American opposite Charity Bedu-Addo. If you like intimate two-handers with a big heart, these are the last performances Cherry Lane lists.
What to expect
Expect a close-up, emotionally charged 100-minute performance in one of the city's oldest off-Broadway houses, tucked on a crooked West Village street. Remaining performances show few seats left, so buy before you go. The small auditorium puts every seat near the actors, which suits a story this intimate.
Good to know
- Few seats remain for the listed performances
- Running time is one hour and 40 minutes
- The theater is on Commerce Street, a short walk from Christopher Street–Sheridan Square
