A 2016 dystopian political thriller that explores the extreme consequences of anti-immigration rhetoric and policies. Set in 2019, it follows a conversation between a former private prison warden, Rick, and Gloria, a professor, as he faces sentencing for atrocities committed in detention centers after a major terrorist attack leads to martial law.
With this production, we will question just how dystopian this story could be and ask where we as a country are headed. Partnering with the Immigration Defense Fund and Hands Off NYC, we will host Talk-Back conversations and raise funds for legal resources for immigrant communities.
TESTIMONIALS
“The poetry becomes drama.”
“Ripple Effect is definitely a company to keep watching.”
“Its bare-bones production was as potent as the one Arthur Miller’s A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE is getting… It has been years since this has been mounted on Broadway. Producers re-write that wrong.”
“I can’t even begin to describe how grateful I am to have been invited to share such a wonderful experience. As an Egyptian and Arab artist, all my work has invested in political performances that stir the audience to think and to be angry and to be active. When I moved to New York after multiple threats and attacks, I missed seeing the vehement performative potential of making my radical works! Until I saw the work you support and stand for! THANK YOU!”
“The whole performance is put on with a flare without being heavy-handed. The performances were excellent. It all serves to remind me that they do not have the funding they should have.”
