Overview
Long Wharf Theatre premiered this hard hitting parable about American materialism by the author of Modigliani, Split Second and Established Price. In their sumptuous home, the Reeds have hosted a party for their neighbors. It is late and everyone has gone when a final guest arrives, a fireman who is not of the Reeds' socio economic position. Nonetheless, the Reeds are gracious until the guest's desperation for material comforts, status and pride surfaces and things get nasty.
