Tenants or, When the Hornet Arrives
Play Description
M and G’s new apartment is nothing special — it really could be any generic New York City apartment — but they’re hoping it’s a place of healing, a new beginning after a traumatic encounter with a former friend. Unfortunately, the previous tenant of this apartment isn’t a man who likes to let go … and he wasn’t ready to move out. First, it’s little things: their mail disappears, it feels like someone’s watching them, he stops by occasionally just to say hi and see what they’ve done with the place. But soon, when G is called out of town for business, M is left alone, and before they know it, they wake up to find themselves immobilized and watching as the previous tenant begins to make the apartment his own again.
