DETROIT // JULY 8 - AUGUST 7, 2022
“Detroit is a tightly wound time-bomb of a play that we simply can’t look away from.”
— Stage Door
THE COAL MINE THEATRE PRESENTS:
DETROIT
Written by Lisa D’Amour & Directed by Jill Harper
A darkly-comic, searingly acute observation of the effects of deep economic uncertainty on the middle-class, D’Amour’s play revolves around two suburban couples meeting at a barbecue in a first-ring suburb just outside a city that might be Detroit. As the action unfolds, one couple reveals that they met at rehab, and neither is employed. A quintessential cookout quickly turns into something more dangerous. — and filled with potential.
“A sharp X-ray of the embattled American psyche…rich and addictively satisfying”
– Charles Isherwood, New York Times (Critics Pick)
