Sometimes the smallest towns hold the biggest secrets…
From the celebrated author of AUGUST: OSAGE COUNTY comes this Tony-nominated, scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power that exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely-held American narratives while asking each of us just how far we would go to keep from becoming history’s “losers.” Also…head kitty Ron May will return to the Stray Cat stage as part of the cast!
“…one of the most thrilling new plays on Broadway this season even if recent real-life events hadn’t made it seem as uncanny as it is funny and, ultimately, disarming.” - Deadline
