Six Degrees of Separation

Six Degrees of Separation at Old Vic Theatre

Why see Six Degrees of Separation?

David Grindley directs John Guare’s adrenalin-fuelled, Olivier Award-winning play - a sharp, vivacious take on two worlds colliding.

Based on a true story.

Paul, a streetwise young black man charms his way into the home of the Kittredges, a wealthy white New York couple. They are art dealers, on the verge of clinching a fortune. He is a college friend of their children, and the son of Sidney Poitier. Is he? Are they? They give him shelter, money and friendship. In exchange he changes their lives.

Acid wit, sharp observation and designer cool combine to create an hilariously funny and often shocking great late 20th century mystery.
