Detroit

Discover the gripping narrative of Detroit by Lisa D'Amour, a compelling exploration of social dynamics in suburban America. Set in a "first ring" suburb, the play follows Ben and Mary as they attempt to welcome their new neighbors to a long-vacant house next door. What starts as a simple gesture of friendship spirals into chaos, unearthing the vulnerabilities of their lives as newly unemployed and struggling individuals. This dramatic yet darkly comic tale raises questions about connection and the human experience when we take the leap to embrace change. Published in 2011, this thought-provoking work spans 112 pages and has captivated audiences since its premiere at Chicago's Steppenwolf Theatre. Experience the highs and lows of suburban life through D'Amour's unique lens, and join the conversation about the realities of modern existence. Perfect for readers interested in drama, social conditions, and the intricacies of city and suburban life.
