Set in the blistering heat of New York City during the summer of 1972, this stage adaptation revisits the infamous true crime story that riveted the nation. As the Vietnam War rages abroad and political scandal grips Washington, a desperate man’s botched bank robbery unfolds into a tense hostage crisis, exposing the fraying nerves of a city already on edge.
The production features Emmy Award winner Jon Bernthal (“The Odyssey,” “The Bear”) and two-time Emmy Award winner Ebon Moss-Bachrach (“The Fantastic Four: First Steps,” “The Bear”) in lead roles. Directed by two-time Olivier Award winner Rupert Goold (King Charles III) and written for the stage by Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Stephen Adly Guirgis (Between Riverside and Crazy), the play translates a legendary story of chaos and compassion into a stark portrait of humanity under pressure.
