A Play by Tom Griffin. \;
An Off-Broadway success\, this very funny yet very touching play focuses on the lives of mentally challenged men\, who live in a communal residence under the watchful eye of a sincere\, but increasingly despairing\, social worker. Filled with humor\, the play is also marked by the compassion and understanding with which it peers into the half-lit world of its handicapped protagonists.
"\;Griffin's play hits squarely on the truth of life with its constant interplays and shadings of triumphs and tears."\; -NY Daily News. "\;THE BOYS NEXT DOOR moves the audience to an awareness of how many things in everyday life we take for granted..."\; -NY Times.
