THE STORY: Clare, Matty and Val were the best of friends in college. Now approaching thirty, they find themselves struggling with careers and relationships - unhappy, yet fearful of change. The three gather, along with Val's husband, Harris, at a country house in Connecticut for a weekend of escape and reminiscence. But this awkward reunion is interrupted by the lovestruck Jim, an office temp with whom Clare had a brief affair. Heedless of the circumstances, Jim proves to be the catalyst that pulls apart these delicately maintained relationships. As the friends' betrayals are revealed and the misbegotten weekend hurtles toward its tragicomic conclusion, a candid snapshot of a generation comes into focus. Sharp and witty in its observations, PLUNGE dives through its comic surface to find the melancholy beneath.

"PLUNGEa naughty little comedy with serious overtonesUnderneath both the whimsy and the painKyle knows how to humanize superficiality, to squeeze both the humor and the pathos out of it - until we recognize on stage not only others but also ourselvesIt is funny, spicy, and evocative" - NY Magazine. "Kyle's writing is niftily smart, and his dramatic ideas almost naughtily engagingthis brilliant playis a play not to miss if you have any interest at all - even a fearful one - in the next millennium." - NY Post. "a skillful comedyKyle depicts [the characters] with wit and, most importantly, sympathy." - NY Daily News.
