A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Dark Comedy / 2w, 2m
Written by Hannah Bos and Paul ThureenDeveloped by Oliver Butler
In this comedic action/mystery of holiday nostalgia and athletic rigor, when a flood destroys the police station, the local cops set up shop in the nearby community center. Mysteries emerge. Criminals are chased. Racquetball is played. In this town, nothing is what it seems... or is it?
Two cops... in the kind of quiet little town where a kid dreams of growing up to be a fireman. Or a race car driver. Where the only question you ask yourself at the end of the day is if you’re gonna knock back your cold one at Swanky’s, Spanky’s or Zingers. A town where neighbors pitch in to help neighbors in need, and where if you wake up in the middle of the night... you should keep your eyes closed. Because the man in red is there in the corner. Watching you. Smiling at you with his yellow eyes and black teeth. Best to pretend you’re still asleep.

“[A] downtown gem… This charming, offbeat play is sneakily funny.” – The New York Times
“Set in the 1980s, this downtown gem, full of minor-key revelations and offhand epiphanies, roots its quirky charm in an earnest and surprising realism. This charming, offbeat play from the Debate Society of Brooklyn is sneakily funny, but not at the expense of its characters, mumbling sweeties who play bingo, collect beer cans, and take pride in their work.” – The New York Times
“Packed with nonchalant theatrics and smoldering intensity. Bos, Thureen and Butler have woven an accomplished yarn.” – BackStage
★★★★ Critics’ Pick! “Wistful and sweet and uncanny. The delightful, oddly delicate Buddy Cop 2 is steeped in Christmas cheer.” – Time Out New York
“Wonderfully entertaining. Funny, charming and perfectly pitched.” – NYTheatre.com
