My Life in the Theater: DETROIT

It was exciting to see a contemporary play last week that was recently a success in Chicago and New York. Lisa D'Amout's play treads the line between comedy and tragedy adeptly. You laugh--but uneasily. And I can't imagine a more dramatic almost ending. I say almost because a bit of an afterword almost undoes what was a fine play. Two couples in a suburb find commonalities up to a point. See it.
