Synopsis

Connie and Jonas are a successful industry couple.

Their friends Suzanne, a struggling painter, and Matt, a struggling musician, can't afford to fix the roof.

But stay tuned because in this funny, poignant and always truthful new play, lives can change in a heartbeat, and things aren't necessarily what they seem.

In What They Have , as in "Six Feet Under," happiness is fleeting and illusory and things are seldom what they seem.

A complex and constantly morphing landscape of dissatisfactions links all four characters.

They're motivated by the need for creative fulfillment, money and the ultimate sense of accomplishment: a child.

Unrequited dreams – and dreams achieved that turn out to be nightmares – shift the ground under everyone's feet.
