JULY 23 | Six Degrees Of Separation at Anacostia Playhouse

Six Degrees of Separation
By John Guare
Directed by Stephawn Stephens

A young black man named Paul shows up at the home of art dealer Flan Kittredge and his wife Louisa, known simply as “Ouisa”, who live overlooking Central Park in New York City. Paul has a minor stab wound from an attempted mugging, and says he’s a friend of their children at Harvard University. The Kittredges are trying to get the money to buy a painting by Paul Cézanne and now have this wounded stranger in their home. Paul claims he is in New York to meet his father, Sidney Poitier, who is directing a Broadway musical. Paul continues to charm them with his story, though, in reality, it is all a lie.
