O knihe

This darkly comic and provocative play explores the question of whether people can be married and truly love each other when their political persuasions are diametrically opposed. New York power couple John and Natalie are hosting a dinner for Elliot, a friend from their days as college radicals. Also invited to the party is Mark, a strait-laced young man from John's risk management firm. With the help of a few too many expensive bottles of wine, the group's past and their long buried secrets resurface. Over the course of this raucous evening, their basic belief systems are upended, as the four must come to terms with what happens when we try to reconcile our idealism with reality. This high-society evening is about to turn into a night of sexually charged mind-games that could change their lives forever.

"This much alcohol hasn't been consumed on stage, nor this much dirty laundry aired by a warring foursome, since Edward Albee's WHO'S AFRAID OF VIRGINIA WOOLF!" -Time Out New York

"A darkly comic American tragedy by David Hay. You have to ... feel it for yourself! A PERFECT FUTURE proves that one single drunken evening can change your world dramatically. The action is so captivating, that it left me in a daze, reeling from the emotional roller coaster ride." -Sarah Lucie, Show Business Weekly
