About the Show

In this world premiere drama, Charlie’s daughter, Kailey, returns home with exciting news of a pregnancy, but joy quickly turns to dread when facts emerge that paint Kailey’s story in a much darker light.

From the show:

In his first world premiere since the critically acclaimed Spaceman, which earned fellow company member Erin Treadway a Drama Desk Nomination For Best Solo performance, Leegrid Stevens continues to break apart themes of belief and delusion with A Peregrine Falls. Charlie’s daughter, Kailey, returns home with exciting news of a pregnancy but joy quickly turns to dread when facts emerge that paint Kailey’s story in a much darker light. The play explores the power of illusion and why sometimes it’s impossible to see what’s right in front of you.

Great acting, Great writing, Edgy, Intense, Quirky

See it if You like shows that aren’t exactly what they appear from the surface but have some twists and turns and a lot more depth than expected.

Don't see it if You want something light and fluffy or a musical.

Uneven, Relevant, Disturbing, Clever, Intense

See it if I loved act 1. It was mysterious, disturbing & humorous. The actors excellently portrayed an off-kilter family with secrets.

Don't see it if I didn’t like act 2 as much. It was blatantly dark & anguished, as everything came tumbling out into the open.

Derek McCracken

"Clocking in at two hours/two acts/four scenes, it moseys between three locales: a Texas hospital, a hospital court, and a car dealership. Along the way, it makes a surprising avian/automotive connection, all while hatching the story of how abuse stuns and wounds a family, collectively and individually."
