Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune
- A Raw, Romantic Comedy by Terrence McNally
- Emmy and Tony Award-winner Terrence McNally's bittersweet comedy combines poignancy and humor as it traces the unlikely romance that develops between two middle-aged "losers". Out of Frankie and Johnny's sometimes touching, sometimes hilarious interplay, the promise of a relationship beyond a "one-night stand" begins to emerge.

- "The fact that I'm concerned about the union of a couple of characters in a twenty-year-old play is testament both to McNally's writing skills and to Paton Davies's and Borrillo's beautifully realistic and vulnerable performances."

"As Johnny, Tom Borrillo turns in a brilliant performance dealing with the ups and downs — literally — of a one-night stand out of which he intends to create a new long-term romance. Emily Paton Davies is outstanding as Frankie."
