a World Premiere by Jeff Daniels
October 14, 2010 – December 18, 2010
Two middle-aged married couples — the Martins and the Porters — stand on the verge of becoming “the best of friends.” A perceived slight over dinner quickly devolves the blossoming relationship into an escalating game of one-upmanship to see which couple can devise a plan that will sever the relationship forever.

PRESS QUOTES
”… Best of Friends certainly succeeded at blasting away my expectations. … Indeed, playwright Jeff Daniels’ new comedy is like putting bugs together in a jar and shaking it up to watch them fight.”
– Rogue Critic
”… Daniels demonstrates an unfailing ear for dialogue that is at once natural-sounding, hilariously clever, and borderline creepy. If we don’t personally know the Martins and the Porters, we know people very much like them.”
– Detroit Theatre Examiner
