Not only does he create vivid detail of a marriage in decline, he also brilliantly depicts the couple's closest friends, and how this new mirror to their own marriage sends them through a whirlwind of raw emotion and self-reflection. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cb\u003eDonald Margulies\u003c\/b\u003e received the 2000 Pulitzer Prize for Drama for \u003ci\u003eDinner with Friends\u003c\/i\u003e.
