Six Degrees of Separation at Keegan Theatre

Six Degrees of Separation

Keegan Theatre
1742 Church Street, NW Washington

One of the greatest American plays of our time, Guare’s script examines the threads of chance that link one person to another. A splendidly funny, often disquieting, exploration of the way human beings define themselves and classify each other. Winner of the 1993 Olivier Award for Best Play and the New York Drama Critics Circle Award.

"...Beyond this production's values, perhaps Guare's dense and idea-filled drama still intrigues us because we continue to struggle mightily with social ills and painful issues of identity. We worry, with good reason, about societal dislocation. We see our deepest fears mirrored in microcosm within our own families. And we recognize the value of well-wrought dramas to articulate our most important and intimate concerns."

"...Incredibly, “Six Degrees of Separation” is based on a true story, which probably added to John Guare’s sense of the play’s humor. If you see nothing else for the rest of the year, make sure you make it down to Keegan Theatre for “Six Degrees of Separation.” It’s poignant absurdity or absurd poignancy will keep you thinking and laughing for days afterward."

"...Positively, that lack of empathy is a good ledge for McCoy and his cast to hang some hilarity on, which is the saving grace of this play. If comedy is the dramatic representation of people who are worse than (the general) you, Six Degrees of Separation has it in spades. But the drama that intends to be the closing act of the play falls short. Late in the play, Ouisa, in a bout of special concern over Paul, declaims that she doesn't know Paul's real name or his ultimate fate. Here's the true tragedy of this play: his name was David Hampton and he died of complications related to AIDS in 2003."

"...Still, the play is fun to see again, if not only for the strange story at its core (one that is based on an actual incident), but its questioning of whether having this odd anecdote to share a dinner parties is enough. Shouldn't they try to do more to help this young man?"
