Justice!

The Drilling Company returns with nine new politically and socially provocative plays from nine of the hottest new playwrights on the independent theatre scene. The Drilling Co. is the winner of the 2005 NYIT award for best short play by P.Seth Bauer – responsible for beginning Will Eno’s Pulitzer Prize nominee Thom Pain (based on nothing) and Brian Dykstra’s Clean Alternatives, among others.

Justice – the most elusive of all the American ideals. Who decides what it is: Alberto Gonzales? George Bush? Dick Cheney? The Supreme Court? It seems no matter where you turn in the world today there’s an argument about Justice… or the lack of it.
