Christopher Shinn’s OTHER PEOPLE is a comedy set around the holidays in New York City’s East Village, involving relationships past and present among four men and one woman.
Stephen, a struggling playwright and website movie critic, invites his ex-boyfriend, Mark, to spend Christmas with him and his roommate, Petra, a poet and stripper. Mark, who’s recently completed making an independent film and is fresh out of rehab, begins his life back in the real world by becoming friends with Tan, a street hustler. In the crucible of a tiny East Village apartment, Stephen, Mark, and Petra struggle with questions of art, sex, and each other as the impending New Year forces them to define how they want to live and love in an uncertain world.
