In this first play from the award-winning memoirist and poet Nick
Flynn, four strangers meet during a blackout on a New York City
sidewalk. Gideon finds himself locked out of his apartment,
stranded on the street with nothing but a television and the
company of three individuals, each mysterious in their own way: the
specter-like Alice, ringleader of the neighborhood; Esra, a
fifteen-year-old girl whose mother is MIA--again; and Ivan, a
stranded businessman trying to make his way home. As Gideon makes
futile attempts to break into an apartment that may or may not be
his, an unsettling connection between Ivan and Esra develops while
Alice and Gideon look on helplessly. Unable to make sense of their
predicament, let alone alter it, the four float aimlessly in and
out of seeming reality only to find themselves more lost when the
electricity finally comes back on.
Once again exploring the tenuous membrane that separates
comfortable, everyday existence from the desperate margins of
society, Flynn portrays an urban dystopia disturbingly similar to
our own world while poignantly tapping into the loneliness and
peril of city life.
