Bluff

Synopsis

Emily and Neal are doing fine as a new couple in New York until her brash and vulgar stepfather comes to town for a convention.

Gene brings with him all of the contradictions Emily has been trying to bury.

Incorporating theatrical techniques pioneered by Chicago's Second City comedy troupe, Bluff alternates between farce and drama to build a disturbing comedy about love and family on a collision course.

This provocative play, a hit when Jon Cryer starred in it at the Tony Award winning Victory Gardens Theatre, was nominated for the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Work.
