Synopsis

Jon Robin Baitz has been praised as one of America's foremost playwrights on themes of conscience.

Now from the author of The Substance of Fire comes an absorbing new play about power and money and the ruinous effects it can have on friendship, love, marriage, and ultimately oneself.

In this modern tragedy set in urban New York City, Wall Street powerhouse Sandy Sonenberg finds his personal and professional life threatened by the unraveling secrets of his past.

After burying his true sexual identity, a lethal affair with a young male associate forces Sonenberg to confront a lifetime of unrequited love and betrayal.

Baitz writes vibrant, stingingly literate dialogue…“ —Variety. ”There is no shortage of plot in THE PARIS LETTER…Baitz is an intelligent, provocative writer, who specializes in moral conundrums…his characters have a complexity, a richness, a level of cultural awareness that was once standard but is now exotic…[a] stunning new play…"
