A compelling new work by Kristoffer Diaz, "Things With Friends" is an unflinching portrayal of New York City’s potential end,seen through the intimate lens of a dinner party. An acutely observed and darkly humorous exploration of privilege and impending chaos.

New York City is crumbling, literally. The bridges are down, the tunnels are out, and the storm of the century is brewing. But for Adele and Burt, a meticulously prepared dinner party for their oldest friends, Chabby and Vy, is about to reveal a deeper, more devastating collapse. As sizzling steak and fine wine flow, the couples navigate uncomfortable truths about urban survival, ruthless ambition, and the shocking price of loyalty when the world outside descends into chaos. ​Prepare for a darkly comedic, intensely intimate evening where friendship is currency, betrayal is on the menu, and the fate of a city—and a generation—hangs precariously in the balance.​
