    A snowstorm strands a bus outside of Kansas City, and its passengers — including a stubborn, lovestruck cowboy and the nightclub singer he hopes to marry – seek shelter and warmth at a roadside diner. The motley crew spends one night together, filled with bluster, heartache, and laughter, searching for love in this classic American comedy. Former Artistic Director Nicholas Martin returns to direct.


     

    "William Inge was an indisputably major artist, one of this country's half-dozen greatest playwrights." — Wall Street Journal

          The Huntington Theatre was gutsy to remake this classic play and did so with enchanting results. Bus Stop proves that new plays can't compete with the timeless classics. A versatile eclectic cast and... Expand

          We were in Boston for pleasure and this definitely helped enhance the time. The seats that we got were great and though the theater is showing it's age, the actors and set were wonderful.

          Wonderfully acted, Inge's play takes place in 3 acts, 1 set, giving the actors time to flesh out the characters. The last scene of this comedy gave the poignant twist on the nature of love. Go see it!
