"Every Karen Needs A Beth" according to John F. Rooney. "Dinner with Friends" by Donald Margulies is a play with some very telling lines, with four yuppy friends (two couples) having seismic marital stress at homes in Connecticut and Martha's Vineyard. They are not a very likeable bunch. They're self-absorbed and frivolous people. The two men Tom and Gabe have known each other for twenty-four years since their college days. Gabe and his wife Karen, annoying and cloying foodies, are the ones who introduced Tom and Beth.When the play starts Tom and Beth have been married for twelve years, have two children, but they are splitting up. If forced to list th. Fantastic What a great play about the human condition and coupling. Another fantastic play! A very quick read and couldn't put it down.
