In the small upstate New York town of Cranberry, 38-year-old bookstore clerk Kenneth spends his evenings at the local tiki bar with his best friend, Bert. Sipping mai tais isn’t enough when bitter reality hits—Kenneth is suddenly laid off, launching him into a world with challenges he has long avoided. Aided by the kind townsfolk he meets along the way, including a warmhearted waitress, Kenneth reaches past his isolation to see the world for the first time. This delicate, profound, and comical story is the winner of the 2024 Pulitzer Prize for Drama.
