The Drama Desk and Obie Award-Winning Keen Company’s season-long tribute to the work of Michael Frayn, kicked off with this fall’s sold-out hit ALPHABETICAL ORDER. Next from the author of COPENHAGEN, NOISES OFF and DEMOCRACY comes this drama about an architect, whose idealistic plan to build an urban housing development, wreaks unexpected consequences for his marriage and his neighbors.
