THE SUM OF US

by David Stevens

June 13 - 22, 2025

A hit Off Broadway and later a film starring Russell Crowe, this play by gifted Australian writer David Stevens explores the volatile relationship between an aging widower and his gay son. After meeting in a local pub, Jeff and a young gardener, Greg, hit it off and begin to date. When he meets Jeff’s stubborn, opinionated dad, however, Greg begins to back off.  Meanwhile, Dad also has a new flame: a woman he met through a dating service.  Put off by Jeff’s homosexuality, prosaic Joyce, too, pulls away, just before Harry & Jeff’s lives take a dramatic turn.

"A father-son play with a big heart. Its first act has plenty of laughs, while the second half balances humor and pathos and includes a surprising conclusion… ought to run in resident theaters and summer stock for years to come." - Variety

"An old-fashioned play in the best sense. There's a real story and fully developed characters an audience can care about." - Associated Press
