Detroit (play)
Detroit is a play by Lisa D'Amour. It was a finalist for the Pulitzer and Susan Smith Blackburn Prizes. The play premiered at the Steppenwolf Theatre Company in Chicago in 2010 and subsequently ran Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in fall 2012. The play won the Obie Award for Best New American Play in 2013.
Mary and Ben live in an unnamed suburb near a midsize American city, but the city is never specified. Ben has just lost his job as a bank loan officer, and is starting a new job operating an Internet site to give help to people who are in debt. Mary and Ben are hosting their new neighbors, Sharon and Kenny, with a backyard barbecue. Sharon and Kenny live next door in a rented house which has no furniture. During the course of the play, the characters discuss suburban angst related to upward mobility, spousal relationships and economic anxiety.
The Steppenwolf Theatre Company presented the play at the Steppenwolf Theatre in Chicago, Illinois, from September 10, 2010, to November 7, 2010. It was directed by Austin Pendleton and choreographed by Tommy Rapley. The Chicago production featured Kevin Anderson as Kenny, Laurie Metcalf as Mary, Kate Arrington as Sharon, Ian Barford as Ben and Robert Breuler as Frank. Lighting was by Kevin Rigdon, sets by Kevin Depinet, costumes by Rachel Healy, and sound by Josh Schmidt.
Although Detroit was originally expected to transfer to Broadway in Fall 2011, the play received its New York premiere Off-Broadway at Playwrights Horizons in 2012.
The play opened on September 18, 2012, after previews from August 24, with a cast that featured David Schwimmer, Amy Ryan and John Cullum, directed by Anne Kauffman. The limited run was extended from October 7 to October 18, 2012.
