How does the nonstop cycle of U.S. school shootings - trauma, loss, prayers, loss, apologies and presidential appeals - take its toll on all of us? This play answers big-picture questions through the lens of one female journalist and the hearts of women who come together in the aftermath of an early school shooting.
in In 2016, two Arkansas boys open fire on their schoolmates, killing five young children. Journalist Dylan Yates and photographer Beirut Dani show up to cover yet another school shooting. As details of the deadly day unfold in an unrelenting media climate, Dylan finds herself unraveling. The homicide humor she uses to hold up under pressure seems to fall flat, and the toll that her work takes on her marriage and family begins to rise to the surface.
Inspired by a real-world event, this is a play about gun violence that never mentions gun rights, the debate over them, or the 2nd Amendment. At its heart, it’s a play about mothers. Mothers and grief, mothers and blame, and mothers who must admit they cannot save everyone.
