Can people be in love when their politics are in direct opposition to one another? That’s the question asked in David Hay’s A Perfect World, set to premiere February 4, 2011 at the Cherry Lane Theater. Directed by Tony Award-nominee Wilson Milam (The Lieutenant of Inishmore) and produced by Andy Sandberg (a Tony Award-winner for Hair), Perfect Future takes place in 2005 in an apartment of two New Yorkers, Natalie and John, who invite two friends over. Over the course of the evening, and with the help of a lot of wine, certain previously unknown personality traits are shown for the first time.
Casting and the rest of the creative team for the Off-Broadway production has not yet been announced. A Perfect Future was originally developed by Naked Angels, whose production of Next Fall received a Tony Award nomination for Best Play.
