The Country Club is an off-Broadway play written by Douglas Carter Beane.




Plot


Soos, a young, witty, charming neurotic, retreats to her upper-class hometown in the aftermath of a failed marriage. The type of WASP domain with houses “that made Martha Stewart forget she was Polish.” As party after party unfolds, the getaway weekend gives way to a year, and ultimately the rest of her life.
Brittle conversation is bandied about, and Soos is reunited with her onetime boyfriend, the charming Zip (Played by Jared Kressman). She also returns to her circles of old friends: the highly strung party planner Froggy and her starchy husband Bri; the wry and sarcastic Pooker; the alcoholic good ol' boy Hutch. But cracks soon begin to show in the facade. Soos falls in and out of an easy relationship with Zip, as he starts an affair with Chloe, a working-class Roman Catholic girl from Philadelphia (who is also engaged to Hutch).
Lives are casually destroyed, lives careen onward, and through it all tragedies are endured without ever being mentioned. As Pooker observes between cocktail sips, "We all have our little stories and nobody brings them up. That's what's known as community spirit."
