Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune





Terrence McNally's critically-acclaimed two-hander about falling in love.


Story:

Two lonely souls who meet for a one-night-stand—but discover a connection deeper than they ever expected. Over a night filled with intimate thoughts and outlandish coincidences, meatloaf sandwiches and moonlit dreams, piano suites and the sweetest talk, they realize that making love is easy—falling in love is hard.
