Uncomfortable with themselves and each other, they are forced to spend a Fourth of July weekend at the Fire Island house that the brother of one of the women left his sister when he died of AIDS. Though the house is beautiful, it is as empty as their lives and marriages have become, a symbol of their failed hopes, their rage, their fears, and of the capricious nature of death. Acerbic and haunting, \u003ci\u003eLips Together, Teeth Apart \u003c\/i\u003eprobes the stifled lives of people and their prejudices with a stunning clarity that resonates long after. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e The author of such critically acclaimed plays as \u003ci\u003eThe Lisbon Traviata\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eFrankie and Johnnie in the Clair de Lune\u003c\/i\u003e, Terrence McNally has graced the American theater with a voice that captures our fear of intimacy in the modern age with dead-on insight, wit, and poignancy.
