Set in the netherworld of thoroughbred racing, SIMPATICO explores themes of memory, loyalty and restitution. When Lyle, a successful horse breeder in Kentucky, receives a desperate phone call from Vinnie, a troubled barfly living in Southern Cali-fornia, their shady past threatens to ruin them both once and for all. High society meets the low life in this hair-raisingly funny play by the Pulitzer Prize–winning author of Buried Child.
