Lisa D’Amour’s brutal, hilarious play Detroit is now showing at the National Theatre in a new production by Austin Pendleton, who directed its hugely acclaimed premiere at Chicago’s Steppenwolf Theatre.
If you spent any of the long Jubilee weekend forcibly mixing with neighbours at suburban street parties or over the garden fence between downpours, the plot will surely resonate with you.
In a suburb of a mid-sized American city, Ben and Mary welcome their new neighbours, Sharon and Kenny, who have moved into the long-empty house next door. Fuelled by backyard barbecues and booze, their sudden friendship rapidly veers out of control, as inhibitions are obliterated and the fragility of Ben and Mary’s off-the-shelf lifestyle is laid bare.
