TIM TEEMAN, DAILY BEAST
“Restores your faith in theatre's storytelling powers with the dreamiest of dream casts.”
DAVID COTE, OBSERVER
Do you have the courage to change? In Eboni Booth’s absorbing, funny, and ultimately stunning new play—the New York Times Critic’s Pick and “pretty darn near to a perfect play” (Tim Teeman, Daily Beast)—William Jackson Harper (The Good Place) heads a remarkable company, directed by Knud Adams, as Kenneth, a 38-year-old bookstore worker facing a world he’s long avoided. The Observer says, “it will restore your faith in theatre’s elemental storytelling powers.”
