Bernstein Theatre \n  \nSet over the course of a single late night in a small Hell’s Kitchen apartment\, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune is a tender\, funny\, and deeply human play about two people standing at the edge of connection. Frankie\, a guarded waitress\, and Johnny\, an earnest short-order cook\, work together at a Manhattan diner. After their first date\, they find themselves in bed—and talking through the night. \nWhat unfolds is an intimate conversation filled with humor\, vulnerability\, and longing. Johnny\, a hopeful romantic\, believes he may have found something rare and real. Frankie\, shaped by past disappointments\, keeps her defenses firmly in place. As they circle each other—sometimes clashing\, sometimes connecting—the play reveals the quiet courage it takes to risk love after life has left its marks. \nAccompanied by the soft glow of Debussy’s “Clair de lune\,” playing on the radio at Johnny’s request\, McNally’s play blends gritty realism with gentle romance. Both funny and achingly honest\, Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune explores loneliness\, resilience\, and the possibility that even late in the night—and later in life—love may still be waiting. \nTickets are $40-$99 and are on sale now at shakespeare.org\, or by calling the Box Office at (413) 637-3353 \nContent Advisory: Frankie & Johnny takes an honest\, often funny look at two adults on the late-night hours of a first date. Please be advised that the production includes moments of sexual intimacy and brief nudity.
