NEW YORK—At one time or another, most of us have found ourselves at a social gathering where we wish we could be anywhere else. Playwright Brian Watkins uses this idea as the starting point for his play “Epiphany.” This comedic drama has its New York premiere off-Broadway at Lincoln Center.
The story takes place in a stately old house on a snowy evening in mid-January. The occasion is a dinner party to celebrate Epiphany, a religious holiday honoring the Three Kings’ visit to the Child Jesus.
