The Playwright - A.R. Gurney
Playwright Gurney has said The Cocktail Hour play was "probably the most personal thing he had written. He also revealed that he promised his parents it would not be produced in Buffalo, New York, his hometown where they still resided, during their lifetimes because "the details are so close to home."
He added, "The play tries to work within the traditions of a comedy of manners, and simultaneously challenge those traditions as outmoded if not destructive."
