“IS THERE ANYTHING THAT DOESN’T HAPPEN AT THAT SCHOOL OF YOURS?”
“SURE. LOVE. WARMTH. DECENCY. TRADITIONAL VALUES.”
Jamie goes to the most expensive private school in the universe. Clark is the spacy grad student who’s been hired to tutor her for the SAT. In her parents’ Fifth Avenue penthouse, Jamie and Clark make wisecracks and bargains, until what gets learned is more than antonyms and equilateral triangles, and what began as asimple transaction becomes a New York City fairy tale about entitlement, corruption and risk.
“A snappy new comedy by the playwright Jenny Lyn Bader about the risks people end up taking when they’re trying to safeguard themselves. With wit and candor, the two characters, brilliantly played to type by both actors, deftly dissect entitlement, intelligence, and isosceles triangles.”– The New Yorker
“Ms. Bader is a bright writer. Under Julie Kramer’s lively direction, both actors keep their energy levels high.” – The New York Times
“To borrow a few words from their SAT test, Pill and O’Neill are so affable and their wrangling so piquant that you hanker to capitulate to this thoroughly recreative endeavour.”
– The Village Voice
