Winner of the 2018 Tony Award for Best Musical After a mix-up at the border, Egypt's Alexandria Ceremonial Police Orchestra, bound for the cosmopolitan Israeli city Petah Tikvah, is stranded in a small desert town. With no transportation until the next day, the band is taken in by the locals. By morning, the lives of visitors and hosts are forever altered. Itamar Moses and David Yazbek's stunning musical adaptation of the 2007 acclaimed film finds transcendence in the surprising and tender relationships that are forged between strangers under the desert sky.

From the author of Bach at Leipzig (Faber, 2005) comes a play about loyalty, integrity, and the price of success. When Benjamin's first novel vaults him into literary stardom, his friend David, a struggling playwright, is thrilled for his newfound success . . . or is he? Should Benjamin help David by using his new connections? Can David even expect such favors from his friend? More importantly, who should pick up the tab at lunch? Hailed as a writer who "e;makes the kinds of stylistic gambles that should be applauded"e; (Eric Grode, The New York Sun), Itamar Moses proves once again with this inventive exploration of the evershifting ground of friendship that he is a playwright to watch. The Four of Us had its off-Broadway premiere in March 2008 at Manhattan Theatre Club."e;Clever [and] smart...[The Four of Us] suggests that Moses will be displaying a big range as his career unfolds."e;--The San Diego Union-Tribune
