Büchner’s 19th century play, widely regarded as the first truly “modern” drama, was based on the real-life case of a barber who stabbed his mistress in a fit of jealousy and was sentenced to death. This version takes place today and is based on a real-life scenario that seems to be stuck on repeat: a school shooting. This radical new production, weaving in elements of movement, dance, and song, plunges audiences into America’s biggest fear and obsession. This production is for mature audiences only and might not be suitable for those sensitive to violence.
