Unexpected Guests
Jordan Crittenden
A "successful" young advertising layout artist invites three "friends" for Thanksgiving dinner at his posh New York place.
Just before they arrive, he commits suicide.
The unsuspecting guests are a wealthy, middle aged homosexual, an unhappy copywriter, and her precocious young daughter.
They're stunned by the unexpected arrival of the dead man's identical brother, a Jesuit priest who recreates and relives the years leading up to his brother's suicide.
Demanding truth from the guests, he becomes involved in the same complex and problematic human relationships his brother had with them.
Through the sophisticated games he plays with them, the priest discovers the relentless pursuit of truth has sometimes comic, sometimes tragic consequences.
Conpersonas is a American play written by Stephen Lim and published by Samuel French in New York (1977).
