About the author

John Guare

Guare's Six Degrees of Separation is the most elegant American comedy of the 1990s, dissecting class, celebrity, and the human need for connection with mordant wit. His earlier The House of Blue Leaves established him as one of the most formally inventive playwrights of his generation.
