Out of Pocket continues its EIGHTEENTH season with a true American classic and Valentine's Day treat by five-time Tony winner Terrence McNally, "Frankie and Johnny at the Clair de Lune."
Directed by Trish Annese, the cast includes Stephanie Roosa and B. Anthony Gibson.
The setting is a walk-up apartment on Manhattan's West Side where, as the curtain rises, Frankie (a waitress) and Johnny (a short-order cook who works in the same restaurant) are discovered in bed. It is their first encounter, after having met several weeks ago on the job, and Frankie is hopeful that Johnny will now put on his clothes and depart, so she can return to her usual routine of watching TV and eating ice cream. But Johnny, a compulsive talker (and romantic), has other ideas. He is convinced that he loves Frankie, a notion that she, at first, considers to be ridiculous. She has had more disappointments than delights in life, and he is the veteran of one broken marriage already. And neither of them is in the bloom of youth. Yet out of their sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious interplay the promise of a relationship beyond a "one-night stand" does begin to emerge.
This play contains sexual content, strong language, and adult themes. It is intended for mature audiences only (18+).
