WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
Desires and expectations collide in Han Ong's new drama The Watcher. The play tells a noiresque coming of age story of a teenage boy who is lured into the shadowy world of Times Square. Neon lights sputter, revealing a mother's search for trust and understanding and a son's longing to break loose to find his own way. Loy Arcenas directs.
