Any Given Monday
Theatre Exile is proud to announce the world premiere of Any Given Monday by Bruce Graham, the “dean of Philadelphia dramatists” (Philadelphia Inquirer). Lenny is not having a good Monday. His wife left him for a jerk who builds Wal-Marts, his two least favorite football teams are playing on the TV and his college-aged daughter, Sarah, is having a crisis of faith. But when his best friend Mickey has the perfect solution to fix his marital problems, Lenny has to count on Sarah to guide him through the moral ambiguities to find what he is willing to stand up for and who he is willing to stand up to. In a world where political correctness, religious faith, class discrimination and social injustice just don’t add up anymore, how can we personally define right and wrong? Bruce Graham is “considered to be this town’s people-pleasing David Mamet, builder of stories that suck you in and make you want to stay” (Philadelphia Inquirer).
Any Given Monday
I absolutely loved it! It was so much fun. I have nothing but good things to say about this play and its actors. I thought Pete Pryor as Mickey was fantastic. It must not be hard for a Philly guy to play a Philly guy but he just was so great! Bruce Graham captures the way Philly people are and live. The play showed the different class systems of Philadelphia and that anything can be justified. It was funny and real and I suggest everyone go see this before it closes on Sunday. I will never forget the line “It’s the pussification on America” Love it!- Philly Stage Review
