About This Show

Working Theater presents the world premiere of King of Shadows, by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, directed by Connie Grappo.

The play centers around Nihar, a 15-year-old homeless runaway selling sex to survive, who claims he’s being pursued by supernatural demons. When Jessica, a young social worker, takes him in, he forms a dangerous bond with her teenage sister that threatens everything she values. The famous fog of San Francisco mixes with a fog of fantasy and fear as each try to protect against a danger they don’t understand.
