    “

    Mo Holmes' RUNAWAY GIRL is a haunting flight through the murky swamps of an escape to freedom. It begs the question, 'Would you do it?' Would you sell your soul for a chance...to be free? Or is that a cost too great? Holmes' play speaks to all of us. It indicts us. Implores us.
    Begs us. Answer the question: would you sell your soul? Or have you already? And, are you the dog? The crocodile? Or the swamp?
