A writer’s retreat unravels into a tense clash between imagination and reality.
Elliott, a writer struggling with persistent creative block, isolates himself in a remote cabin in hopes of forcing a breakthrough. As he delves into a new thriller, the separation between his fiction and his lived experience begins to blur, leaving him uncertain about what is imagined and what is unfolding around him.
The play written by David Cale, whose work often explores intimate psychological terrain (Harry Clarke). Direction is by Tony Award nominee Leigh Silverman (Violet, Kung Fu), bringing her detailed, character-focused approach to the piece. The creative team also includes Studio Bent (sets), Sarah Laux (costumes), Cha See (lighting), Caroline Eng (sound), and composer Isobel Waller-Bridge.
