The Borderland

In this explosive thriller, a young couple who think that escaping the rat-race and having a child might save their crumbling marriage decide to pack up their urban life and move to the country. On a stormy night, their illusion of security is quickly upended when an impoverished young mother of five is chased onto their property by her abusive husband. Alliances are formed and relationships are betrayed as the two couples, in a battle for their homes, their marriages, and their futures. With spine-tingling intensity, Grimsley’s exciting new play explores the uneasy borders that exist between men and women, rich and poor, and urban and rural.
