Frankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune From Wikipedia, the free encyclopediaJump to: navigation, search Poster for the off-Broadway productionFrankie and Johnny in the Clair de Lune is a two-character play by Terrence McNally. It focuses on two lonely, middle-aged people whose first date ends with them tumbling into bed. Johnny is certain he has found his soul mate in Frankie. She, on the other hand, is far more cautious and disinclined to jump to conclusions. As the night unfolds, they slowly begin to reveal themselves to each other as they take tentative steps towards the possible start of a new relationship. The reference to "Clair de Lune" in the title refers to a piece of music by Debussy, the third movement of the Suite bergamasque, which is a key plot element. The play, directed by Paul Benedict, opened on June 2, 1987 at Stage II of the off-Broadway Manhattan Theatre Club, where it ran for two weeks. On October 14, it opened at Stage I for a six-week run. On December 4, it transferred to the Westside Theatre, where it remained for fifteen months. Kathy Bates and Kenneth Welsh were the original cast. A 1991 film adaptation by McNally shortened the title to Frankie and Johnny and was a dramatic departure from the play.
