- Synopsis
- Flan and Ouisa Kittredge (Donald Sutherland and Stockard Channing) are a married couple who have built highly successful careers as art dealers catering to Manhattan's upper crust. The Kittredges are entertaining friends one evening when a young black man named Paul (Will Smith) appears at their door. Paul says that he's a close friend of their children, with whom he attended boarding school, and he's just been mugged and needs to get off the street for a moment. Flan and Ouisa invite him in, and they are immediately taken by Paul's intelligence and charm; he offers to prepare dinner, regales them with stories about his father, Sidney Poitier, and ends up spending the night at their apartment.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"Six Degrees is the next best thing to a great play; a fantastically clever, verbally scintillating, consistently amusing one."
-
"Guare's play is austerely funny and cerebral"
-
"Combined with Guare's bountiful writing and Schepisi's ambitious style, Six Degrees of Separation approaches the sublime"
-
"What seems to start out as a burlesque against the rich -- a satire of class-consciousness -- ends up mutating into something stranger and richer and more ambiguous"
