Proving Mr. Jennings

Proving Mr. Jennings is the U.S. premiere of a politically incorrect satire on the nature of terrorism and our response to it. In this dark and wicked comedy, a dull, middle-class man goes into the hospital for a heart transplant, but wakes up to find himself accused of attempting to detonate a suicide bomb, an act which he did not commit. Eventually, he is convinced by government bureaucrats, military leaders and anti-terrorist intelligence agents that he is, in fact, responsible for the attack. In this post-modern age of high anxiety, how could it be any other way? He must be guilty, he has to be guilty, and who’s to say he’s not guilty? George Cederquist directs.

The August 8 & 9 performances begin at 8 PM.
