APPLAUSE COMMUNITY THEATRE PROUDLY PRESENTS AN EVENING OF ONE ACTS
Our Dearest Friends
By Twin Cities playwright Terry Newby
Directed by Twin Cities playwright James Lundy
The best friendships are both intimate and fragile. And when you mix business ventures with a long-standing friendship, intimacy and fragility are inescapable. Our Dearest Friends explores the relationship between Drew, a corporate lawyer with questionable ethics, and his best friend — and best client — Peter, a man who is unapologetically corrupt and unethical. Peter's shady business dealings support Drew's law practice, but both men and their wives and children pay a steep price for their shared corruption and dubious ethics. What is a true friendship worth? What price are we willing to pay for that which seems real?
