The Cocktail Hour
Guthrie Theatre
818 South 2nd Street Minneapolis
When your family is in town for the holidays, we’ve got the perfect way to toast the season! With delightfully witty wordplay, A.R. Gurney’s The Cocktail Hour is a heartfelt comedy of manners that pits artistic pursuit against family loyalty. It’s the 1970s, and John arrives for dinner at his parents’ home carrying the script of his soon-to-be produced play depicting his uptight, upper-crust WASP family. Just as the martinis begin to flow, so do the revelations and recriminations – both funny and poignant. Directed by Maria Aitken (Broadway’s The 39 Steps), The Cocktail Hour is the perfect alternative holiday entertainment.

The Cocktail Hour Reviews
| Star Tribune - Recommended
"...All in all, it’s a well-honed production of a play that doesn’t offer earth-shattering revelations, but rather a pleasant, humorous and occasionally intriguing interlude from the everyday. Just as a good cocktail hour should do."

Twin Cities Pioneer Press - Recommended
"...The acting is strong, there are moments of laughter and a cute theatrical conceit, which makes for light entertainment that's appropriate for the holidays, even though it's not about the season."
