This Pulitzer Prize winner enjoyed a stunning Broadway revival in 1996 with George Gizzard, Rosemary Harris and Elaine Stritch. Wealthy middle-aged couple, Agnes and Tobias have their complacency shattered when Harry and Edna, longtime friends appear at their doorstep. Claiming an encroaching, nameless ``fear`` has forced them from their own home, these neighbors bring a firestorm of doubt, recrimination and ultimately solace, upsetting the ``delicate balance`` of Agnes and Tobias' household.

Winner of the 1996 Drama Desk and Award, Best Revival.
