Lower Ninth

PublicWorks Theatre and the Bath House Cultural Center are proud to present Lower Ninth a powerful new play inspired by the devastating effects of Hurricane Katrina. Written by Beau Willimon, this new drama will be directed by Catherine Hopkins (artistic director of PublicWorks and director of Lord of the Flies which made its regional premiere last year at the Bath House) and will feature David Jeremiah (Top Dog UnderDog and Rosenkrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead) and Dallas stage newcomers Derrick Beasley and Manson Thomas.

Lower Ninth focuses on the story of two men stranded on a roof after a terrible storm. As Malcom and E-Z struggle to survive, they must battle heat, hunger and their pasts. Ultimately, their only hope for salvation rests with each other.
