About the Play:

All New People is a full-length comedy by Zach Braff. Who knew the worst day of your life could be so funny? From Zach Braff, the writer, director and lead of the hit film Garden State and star of the long-running TV comedy Scrubs, All New People is a fresh look at unexpected and accidental friendships that arise in life's most trying situations.

All New People is a comic four-hander set in the dead of winter, where at his wealthy friends' luxury Long Beach Island apartment, Charlie has hit rock bottom on his 35th birthday. Away from the rest of the world, this perfect escape is interrupted by a motley parade of misfits who show up and change his plans. A hired beauty, a fireman, and an eccentric British real estate agent desperately trying to stay in the country all suddenly find themselves tangled together in a beach house where the mood is anything but sunny, while Charlie just wishes they'd leave and let him get on with it. All New People is a slick, lively and contemporary comedy written by award-winning screenwriter and well-known actor Zach Braff.

All New People premiered in 2011 at Second Stage off-Broadway in New York City and subsequently moved to tour the UK, playing in Manchester, Glasgow and finally in London in 2012. Since then the play has been performed at regional theatres across the US.

Cast: 2 women, 2 men

What people say:

"[Zach Braff] scores with All New People, a morbidly funny play about the trendy new existential condition of being young, adorable, and miserable." — Variety
