Playground

Playground, a new play by Derek Spaldo, explores the volatile relationship of four people in a working class neighborhood. Set in and around a bodega, the characters’ seemingly mundane conversations about dead-end jobs, friendship, masculinity, pride, and above all, desire, unearth an unconscious legacy of violence. Playground has been workshopped at Dixon Place and Greenpoint Pre-Apocalyptic Theatre Festival, and features a cast of Sarah Willis (Kayley), Aron Canter (Ezekiel), Michel Morin (Dad), and WooJae Chung (Chris).
