Lively dialogue between two sets of parents regarding an incident between their sons, in which one child was hit by a stick and received a swollen lip and chipped teeth, results in a thought provoking and bitingly funny conversation. Initial civility digresses spectacularly and brings the audience along for the ride.

“As we were selecting the next play for the community, this particular play stood out as being relevant for Darien audiences," said Dana Fead, a co-producer of the show. "Parents will be able to relate to what is happening on stage, even though they would handle the situation differently in real life. Good theatre illuminates life and, in this case, it includes laughs in the process.”

Tickets can be purchased at darienarts.org or by calling the box office at 203-655-5414. Performances are at 8 p.m. on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 7 and 8, Nov. 14 and 15, and Nov. 21 and 22 with matinees at 2 p.m. on Sunday, Nov. 9 and Nov. 16.

The Darien Arts Center Weatherstone Studio is located at 2 Renshaw Road, behind Darien Town Hall.
