A slacker doubling as a dog walker. A young professional partying with the boys. A depressed street performer. A bartender on the graveyard shift. In a series of monologues, four twenty-something strangers reflect on the same bitter-cold December night. As each character tells their particular side of that freezing night's story, puzzle pieces slowly merge and the audience draws closer and closer to learning how and why an ordinary girl was found floating face-down in Diversey Harbor.

David Mamet's Sexual Perversity in Chicago is among the most frequently produced of his plays, but perhaps the most misinterpreted. His 1974 gem concerns the budding romance of two young singles unsure how to find a mate, confused how to keep one, and poisoned by the selfish posturing of their best friends. Mamet's story of a desperate search for love at the height of sexual revolution is the backdrop for hilarious exchanges, but the ribald comedy masks a misogyny inspired by deep sadness, hints of sexual abuse, and a profound inability to connect.
