Set in New York City two weeks after the September 11 attacks, The Guys tells the story of Joan, a writer, and Nick, a fire captain who lost most of his men at the World Trade Center. As Joan helps Nick write eulogies for the firefighters he served alongside, the two strangers discover friendship, resilience, and hope while navigating the emotional landscape of grief.
Based on a true story, The Guys is a poignant and deeply human look at loss, remembrance, and healing.

What critics say about The Guys:
“A straight-from-the gut beautifully written two-hander…laughter is heard as often as sobs.” – CurtainUp
“A generous, sad, touching play about the braveries of grief.” – The New York Times
“The kind of quiet hybrid that the situation and the times – an era of a million pithy sound bites, booming rhetoric, and the numbing repetition of the CNN loop that followed the attacks – seemed to demand…A small jewel of a play.” – The Chicago Tribune.
