The House In Town: The time is New Year�s Eve, 1929. In an elegant New York brownstone on 'Millionaire�s Row' (West 23rd Street between 9th and 10th Avenues), Mr. and Mrs. Sam Hammer bid their last few guests farewell with a parting wish: 'A better year ahead.' But, as that pivotal year begins, the shadow of the enormous London Terrace apartment complex under construction looms over the their home. The shadow also portends Wall Street�s impending collapse, and the growing strain upon the Hammer�s marriage.

The play has set design by John Lee Beatty, costumes by Catherine Zuber, lighting by Brian MacDevitt and sound by David van Tieghem.
