Six Degrees of Separation

In a Fifth Avenue apartment high above Central Park, art dealer Flanders Kittredge and his wife Ouisa are trying to interest a moneyed friend in a $2 million investment. When an unexpected young guest arrives, claiming to be the son of Sidney Poitier, the plot takes some wonderfully unexpected turns in John Guare’s classic American play.

Includes a conversation about “six degrees” theory with mathematician Steven Strogatz of Cornell University.
