Something You Did

Closing out Primary Stages’ 2007-2008 season is the New York premiere of Something You Did, by Willy Holtzman. The play tells the story of a notorious sixties radical who has served nearly 30 years in prison for her part in the accidental killing of a police officer during an explosive war protest. Now eligible for parole in a post 9/11 world where bombing is terrorism and dissent, treason, how much can she be faulted for having too much consciousness and bringing the war home?

A powerful topical and provocative drama, Something You Did examines the responsibility of citizens for the actions of their government.
