Theater: Acorn Theatre / 410 West 42nd Street, New York, NY, 10036
Frank, a gay writer living with AIDS, attends a party at his friend Laura's house to celebrate the return of her teenage son from abroad. As the story shifts back and forth through time, it's clear that Frank may have played an unscrupulous part in the unraveling of his best girlfriend's family. Nominated for an Olivier Award for Best New Play, Kevin Elyot's West End smash is a haunting, twisting tale of undeclared passion and the fine line between intimacy and betrayal.
November 7, 2008: "Nobody really listens to anybody else in “Mouth to Mouth,” Kevin Elyot’s mordant and mournful play about the limits of friendship and family. But the solipsistic Londoners in this deftly acted production from the New Group, which opened on Thursday night on Theater Row, clearly can’t stop thinking about one another."
