A group of partying American college students and their idealistic professors embark on a literary tour of England. With a crammed itinerary and barely enough time to digest the sites, the students' behavior devolves from appreciative to appalling while the professors confront the emptiness beyond their idealism in this comedy about what it means to make choices and stick with them.
Some Americans Abroad was first produced off-Broadway in 1990 at Lincoln Center's Mitzi E. Newhouse Theatre, featuring a cast that included Kate Burton, Frances Conroy, Henderson Forsythe, Bob Balaban and Elisabeth Shue.
