Winner of the 2014 Horton Foote Prize for Outstanding New American Play and the inaugural Edward M.

It recently had its New York premiere at Primary Stages.

The two-character play will star Eric Hissom as Paul Watson and Thomas Keegan as Dan O’Brien. The artistic team includes production designer Marie Schneggenburger, lighting designer Dan Covey, projection designer Tim McLoraine, and sound designer Brendon Vierra.
