“Guirgis’ benchmark prison drama about faith and humanity remains as potent as ever in the two decades since its premiere, surely earning its place among great American classic plays.” – Freddie Ashley

SYNOPSIS

WILL ONE MAN’S REDEMPTION LEAD TO ANOTHER’S DAMNATION?

At Riker’s Island, a frightened young inmate confronts complex issues of faith when he crosses paths with a charismatic serial killer, a sadistic guard, and a jaded public defender. This potent play by Pulitzer Prize winner Stephen Adly Guirgis will hit you where you live and make you question what happens when God’s justice differs from man’s.

"THIS PUMPING, POUNDING, PULSING PLAY BLAZES."

– EVENING STANDARD

“Utterly Riveting”

– New York Times

"FIRE-BREATHING... A PROBING, INTENSE PORTRAIT OF LIFE BEHIND BARS."
