Lonely Planet
by Steven Dietz

July 13 - August 11, 2001
EXIT Theatre
156 Eddy Street, San Francisco

This ode to Ionesco’s classic The Chairs follows the exploits of two everyday philosophers trapped in a map store.  It is an exquisite tale of an unconventional friendship between two men who face the AIDS crisis in deeply personal and disarming ways.  

Directed by John Warren

Featuring Michael Patrick Gaffney & Ian McConnel

Winner of the Drama-Logue Award and PEN USA Award in Drama, Lonely Planet celebrated the lies we tell and the love that lives behind them.

 

"A gem of a play... Gaffney and McConnel manage to convey the need, comfort and strength that makes such a friendship one of the greatest things human beings have yet learned to build.  Lonely Planet is a gem of a play, and this warmhearted, beautifully acted production will make you appreciate your friends and leave you wanting to make new ones." - Oakland Tribune
