Playwright
Adam Bock is making his Playwrights Horizons debut with
The Drunken City after a string of successful Off-Broadway plays: the Obie Award-winning
The Thugs, Swimming in the Shallows and the recent hit
The Receptionist. "Off on the bar crawl to end all crawls, three twenty-something brides-to-be (Cassie Beck,
Maria Dizzia, Sue Jean Kim) find their lives going topsy-turvy when one of them (Ms. Beck) suddenly begins to question her future after a chance encounter with a recently jilted handsome stranger (Mike Colter). The Drunken City is a wildly theatrical take on the mystique of marriage and the ever-shifting nature of love and identity in a city that never sleeps," explain press notes.
