Synopsis

Corky and Norm are excited to host Gerald and Laura at their home in the valley outside Los Angeles to watch a once-in-a-lifetime meteor shower.

But as the stars come out and the conversation gets rolling, it becomes clear that Gerald and Laura might not be all that they appear to be.

Over the course of a crazy, starlit dinner party, the wildly unexpected occurs.

The couples begin to flirt and insanity reigns.

Era-defining comedian Steve Martin, using his trademark absurdist humor, bends the fluid nature of time and reality to create a surprising and unforgettably funny new play.

Press Reviews

"A very funny play. Keening-like-a-howler-monkey funny. Design-a-new-cry-laughing-emoji funny."

— Entertainment Weekly

"Meteor Shower sparks with the same anarchic energy as Martin’s reckless comedy Picasso at the Lapin Agile."

— Deadline
