It is the moment every twenty-something must confront: the time to grow up.
But what does Laura want for herself? And how can she choose between Tyler and Jim, between one life she loves and another she\'s supposed to love? Raw, uproarious, and deeply affecting, Animals speaks to an entire generation caught between late-adolescence and adulthood wondering what exactly they\'ll have to give up in order to grow up..
Jim pulls Laura toward adulthood and responsibility, toward what society says she should be, but Tyler isn\'t ready to let her go.
He disapproves of Tyler\'s reckless ways and of what he percieves to be her bad influence on Laura.
But things are changing: Laura is engaged to Jim, a classical pianist who has long since given up the carousing lifestyle.
They\'ve been best friends, partners in excess, for the last ten years.
Laura and Tyler are two women whose twenties have been a blur of overstayed parties, a fondness for drugs that has shifted from cautious experimentation to catholic indulgence, and hangovers that don\'t relent until Monday morning.
The end of prolonged adolescence is near.
Adulthood looms, with all its numbing tranquility and stifling complacency.
