Synopsis

When morning-after gossip about privileged Davis and ambitious Leigh turns ugly, self-interest collides with the truth and the resulting storm of ambiguity makes it hard to discern just who‘s a victim, who‘s a predator, and who‘s a Future Leader of America.

All that‘s certain is when the veneer of loyalty and friendship is stripped back, wha‘s revealed is a vicious jungle of sexual politics, raw ambition, and class warfare where only the strong can possibly survive.

Press Reviews

"Mr. Colaizzo possesses an assured appreciation of the addictive power of ambiguity, which he manipulates with a bait-and-switch mastery that never lets up."
— The New York Times

"An exceedingly well-made play. Unexpected and thrilling."
— New York Observer

"What starts out to be banal hijinks among a group of upper-crust college kids takes a menacing and calculating turn that resembles the poignancy of an Edward Albee creation."
— Washington Diplomat
