When a random act of gun violence tears one woman’s world apart, she finds herself caught in the cross hairs of power lost and, very possibly, regained.

Tony Award® nominee Marin Ireland ("Sneaky Pete") stars in this gripping new play by Martín Zimmerman. Tony nominee Leigh Silverman (Well, Roundabout’s Violet) directs the 60-minute tour de force world premiere for Roundabout Underground.

Roundabout’s work with new and emerging playwrights and directors, as well as development of new work, is made possible by Katheryn Patterson and Tom Kempner.

ABOUT ROUNDABOUT UNDERGROUND

Roundabout Underground productions are produced in Roundabout's Black Box Theatre located within the Harold and Miriam Steinberg Center for Theatre. It is an initiative designed to foster new works by emerging theatre artists. Roundabout Underground allows Roundabout to take artistic risks that are not viable on its larger stages, whether giving a debut production to an emerging writer or allowing an experienced director to go back to his or her creative roots. In addition to receiving an opportunity to debut their works as full-scale productions, up-and-coming playwrights receive the significant artistic and financial support of the country's largest not-for-profit theatre and a nurturing environment in which to debut their work. Note: Roundabout Underground productions cannot be purchased as part of a season package.
