The Four of Us

Theater Wit
1229 W Belmont Ave Chicago

Best friends since high school band camp, David (Ally) and Benjamin (Geraghty) have great artistic aspirations. But when Ben signs a seven figure movie deal for his first novel at age 24, their comfort zone abruptly disappears. David, who is struggling to kick start his own career, increasingly finds himself unable to negotiate a friendship with such dramatic inequality. What happens when professional jealousy cracks the bonds of years of camaraderie? This Chicago premiere by one of the nation’s top young playwrights is a smart and timely look at how a friendship can unravel when one friend becomes famous. Here in the U.S., is there anything more threatening than success?
