Mad Cow Theatre presents Dinner With Friends by Donald Margulies. Dinner With Friends is set to open tonight, June 19, 2015 in The Zehngebot-Stonerock Theatre as part of Season 18.

Winner of the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Dinner with Friends travels through space and time to paint two pictures of contemporary marriage. Gabe and Karen are happily married while their friends Tom and Beth are on the verge of divorce. As Tom and Beth fight for the support of their seemingly happy counterparts, Gabe and Karen begin to question the stability of their own relationship. A portrait of interconnected love and loss, Donald Margulies' Dinner with Friends beautifully depicts the burdens we build out of our most intimate relationships.

The cast of Dinner With Friends features Brian Brightman as Gabe (The Philadelphia Story, Dancing at Lughnasa, The Understudy), Becky Eck as Beth (The Philadelphia Story, Death of a Salesman, Enchanted April), Cameron Francis as Tom (2nd Annual Science Play Festival), and Ame Livingston as Karen (August: Osage County, Table Manners, The Cradle Will Rock).

Denise Gillman (Photograph 51, Collected Stories, Legacy of Light) returns to Mad Cow to direct her second Donald Margulies play after having directed Collected Stories in Season 16. Sound design by Bobbie Bell, set design by Rebecca Pancoast, light design by Erin Miner, and costume design by Madison May.
