National Anthems

National Anthems
Set during the late eighties in a plush Detroit suburb, this darkly comic play chronicles the class clash between an affluent couple with social aspirations and the neighbour they grudgingly invite into their home. It is a parable of American materialism that sees the action played out over real time, as tensions between the three characters inevitably intensify.
