Boys' Life

Told in a series of fast-paced, sharply etched scenes, the play traces the misadventure of three former college buddies now seeking to make their way in the big city and with various women. Moving along briskly, with its mood of satirical humor brilliantly sustained, the play dissects and anatomizes the male narcissism-and protracted adolescence-which characterizes its protagonists and makes it hilariously clear that it is actually the women who possess the qualities of "manhood" and maturity.
