Ever been racially slurred in the sack? Ever been subjected to strangers yelling at you at 3am about the most intimate details of your life? Ever been to New York? Six characters from wildly different backgrounds make love, war and hysteria late one night in the cultural, sexual and generational smorgasbord that is Manhattan. Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight is Peter Ackerman's debut play, and ran off-Broadway for six months. Peter has since written The Um, which also ran off-Broadway, and a radio play, I'd Rather Eat Pants. He is co-author of the animated movie, Ice Age, and is currently writing Jumanji 2 for Sony. Things You Shouldn't Say Past Midnight opens at the Soho Theatre, London in November 2002.
