bitingly hilarious play

“Sensationally acted…Letts is writing for one of the best acting companies in America. The ensemble infuses every moment with full-blooded theatricality.” -- Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times 

“An outstanding play. The ensemble is flawless.” -- Los Angeles Daily News  

An adult comedy about immature behavior. 

Wheeler just turned 50. His marriage is over, his job is mundane, and the best years of his life appear to be behind him. A move from the cot in his ex-wife's garage to his own apartment opens up new possibilities for love and sex—complicated, painful, and hilarious. Full of opinions, yet short on self-examination, Wheeler must reconcile the man he has become with the man he wants to be in this major new play from the writer of August: Osage County

In this Steppenwolf Theatre Company production, Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award®-winning playwright Tracy Letts delivers a male midlife crisis tragicomedy of epic proportions (Chicago Sun–Times) that is smart, very funny, and hugely entertaining (Daily Herald). 

“Might just be Mr. Letts’ best play yet.” -- The Wall Street Journal

“An uproarious and astutely executed character study. As witty and skillful as anything Letts has written.” -- The Hollywood Reporter

“A classic Steppenwolf kind of show—funny, edgy, smart.” -- Chicago Tribune
