Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune

Terrence McNally’s Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune follows a short-order cook and a waitress navigating the hours after a first date turns into a one-night stand. As dawn approaches, their guarded banter gives way to something more vulnerable, as both confront loneliness, past disappointments and the risk of wanting more. Funny, tender and unflinchingly intimate, the play unfolds in real time in a single Manhattan apartment.
