New York City
The Dead Eye Boy is a hard-edged, haunting drama about an ex-Marine and a single mother, recovering addicts desperate to exchange their drug dependency for a brighter new life together. However, the woman’s 14-year old son is, at best, indifferent to their marriage. He is a deeply troubled boy who’s been raised in an emotional vacuum where verbal and physical abuse often pass for, are even welcomed as, affection. His needs and the demons that chase each of these three hungry souls are at the center of this powerful new play about life in a seldom portrayed and all too real part of America. Presented by The MetaTheatre Company.
