Ana is on scholarship at a boarding school far from home, deeply and distinctly alone until she crosses paths with day student Jonah. They navigate the edges of this new relationship, tentative and heady, but something else is stirring, and what begins as an exploration of new, exultant desire shifts into more complex negotiations of intimacy and survival. A story of fracture and resilience, what bodies carry and what they can release, and the radical possibilities of trust.

  • Trey Everett: JONAH

    Watching 'Jonah' was one of my favorite theatrical experiences of 2024. Rachel Bonds is such an incredible playwright - her world building, her characters, her economical dialogue; all contribute to genuinely beautiful pieces of the American theatre canon. How lucky are we that we get to be in the same timeline as this work, and this writer.
