A critical and popular success, this bittersweet comedy combines poignancy and laughter as it traces the unlikely romance that begins to develop between two middle-aged "losers." "Terrence McNally has…a hit…in FRANKIE AND JOHNNY IN THE CLAIR DE LUNE. A romantic two-hander with character depth and an abundance of laughs…" —Variety. "A richly warm, humorous, clear-eyed portrait of the beginning of a relationship, it cuts deeper to the heart than any previously seen McNally works…" —Drama-Logue. "…Terrence McNally's very sweet, extraordinarily funny, romantic and ribald comedy…" —NY Post. "Terrence McNally is one of our most original and audacious dramatists, and one of our funniest…" —The New Yorker. *Directed by Meredith King* One of Marc's best friends, Serge, has just bought a very expensive painting, all white with white diagonal lines. To Marc, the painting is a joke, but Serge insists Marc doesn't have the proper standard to judge the work. Another friend, Yvan, allows himself to be pulled into this disagreement. Eager to please, Yvan tells Serge he likes the painting. Lines are drawn and these old friends square off over the canvas, using it as an excuse to relentlessly batter one another over various failures. As their arguments become more personal, they border on destroying their friendships. At the breaking point, Serge hands Marc a felt tip pen and dares him: "Go on." This is where the friendship is finally, and irrevocably, tested. Winner of the 1998 Tony Award for Best Play. Winner of the 1996 Olivier Award for Best Comedy.
