2081 Addison Street Berkeley
A backyard barbecue turns into a roast of the American dream in Detroit, a sizzling new comedy from Lisa D'Amour. In this Pulitzer Prize finalist, proud suburbanites Ben and Mary host a cookout to welcome their new neighbors, the slightly younger -- and much more free spirited -- Sharon and Kenny. But the casual get-together soon threatens to tear everything apart, as the party turns into a delirious bacchanal, endangering the fragile grasp Ben and Mary have on their way of life. Shocking and hilarious, Detroit offers an unsparing and sharp-eyed analysis of common assumptions about status, comfort, ambition and community. Named one of The New York Times' top plays of 2012 and a winner of a 2013 Obie Award for Best New American Play, Detroit now comes to the Bay Area, thanks to this riveting new production from the Aurora Theatre Company.
