A play by Tim Blake Nelson
Directed by Mark Wing Davey
ABOUT
A searing and provocative world premiere by actor/writer Tim Blake Nelson, directed by Mark Wing-Davey. In a not-too-distant future, a reluctant attorney is charged to represent a prisoner deemed beyond rehabilitation. In the ensuing trial and in the face of a machine that eliminates the pain of execution we are forced to ask – How do you seek mercy in a world that has eliminated justice?
In the not-too-distant future a lawyer is forced to represent a prisoner deemed ‘beyond rehabilitation.’ In the ensuing trial that would have her client executed in a newly developed machine designed to do so ‘without pain,’ the attorney must strive for justice in a system devoid of mercy. A searing and provocative new play by actor/director and writer Tim Blake Nelson directed by Mark Wing-Davey.
