From the Back Cover
In this soaring and deeply provocative tragicomedy of race, class, and manners, John Guare has created the most important American play in years. 'Six Degrees of Separation' is one of those rare works that capture both the supercharged pulse of our present era and the deepest and most mysterious movements of the human heart.
