Geffen Playhouse – Gil Cates Theater (Los Angeles, CA)
Geffen Playhouse presents the American premiere of acclaimed Australian playwright Joanna Murray-Smith’s provocative new comedy The Gift. While vacationing at a ritzy resort, two couples meet and become fast friends. The pairs come from different worlds: Ed and Sadie are middle-aged, wealthy and reserved, while Martin and Chloe are budding artists brimming with confidence and ready to leave their mark on the world. A seemingly inconsequential event throws a monkey wrench into the couples’ newfound friendship, not to mention their own relationships, forcing the vacationing foursome to wrestle with a moral dilemma: while it’s human nature to want what you don’t have, is it unnatural to abandon something that you do? A simultaneously hilarious and thought-provoking new work, The Gift stars multiple Emmy Award winner Kathy Baker, longtime television and film star Chris Mulkey, Jaime Ray Newman (Eastwick) and James Van Der Beek (Don’t Trust the B—- in Apartment 23, Dawson’s Creek).
