"Carol and Jerry celebrate their anniversary with friends Martin and Judy. But an evening of haute cuisine and expensive wine is cut short when Martin, no longer able to repress years of frustration, lashes out at the people he loves. Soon, the facade of their pristine American lives shatters. With ferocious humor and violent turns, David Adjmi's searing drama lays bare the vast desolation that lies beneath a quiet dinner with friends," explain press notes. The Evildoers is for mature audiences.

David Adjmi's plays have been developed and produced in the United States and England at theatres including Lincoln Center, the Royal Shakespeare Company, the Royal Court Theatre, and the Sundance Institute.

The Evildoers plays January 18 through February 9 at Yale Repertory Theatre, located at 1120 Chapel Street (at York Street), New Haven, Connecticut.  Opening Night is Thursday, January 24.
