Two men, together, on the edge of heaven.
In a strange restaurant two American giants who revere each other, Groucho Marx and T.S. Eliot, meet for dinner. Both, in their own ways, great defiant spirits, they create magic and anarchy, revealing secrets and sorrows. The evening is presided over by a waitress, who seems to control the workings of the universe. Does she? In Dinner With Groucho all is revealed, or nearly so...
An evening that promises blistering wit, brilliant buffoonery, and reflections on the ephemeral nature of life from the award-winning writer of such iconic plays as Observe the Sons of Ulster Marching Towards the Somme, Someone Who’ll Watch Over Me and The Factory Girls.
