“Ever wonder who that stranger is sitting next to you? What is their story? What are they hiding?” ask The Layover production notes. “Shellie and Dex dare to answer these questions after their flight is delayed on a snowy Thanksgiving night. What they discover about themselves, and each other, sends both of their lives into upheaval. A psychological thriller from the darkly funny writer of Bachelorette, The Layover asks the question: Can you ever really get to know somebody when you're hiding so much yourself?”

Tickets for The Layover are available at 2ST.com, by calling the box office at (212) 246-4422 or by visiting the Tony Kiser Theatre at 305 West 43rd Street.
