Six Degrees of Separation

In this soaring and deeply provocative tragicomedy of race, class, and manners, John Guare has created the most important American play in years. Six Degrees of Separation is one of those rare works that capture both the supercharged pulse of our present era and the deepest and most mysterious movements of the human heart.

"Transcendent...magical...a masterwork that captures new York as Tom Wolfe did in Bonfire of the Vanities...[An] extraordinary high comedy in which broken connections, mistaken identities, and tragic social, familial, and cultural schisms...create a hilarious and finally searing panorama of urban America in precisely our time."--Frank Rich, The New York Times
