Ugly Lies the Bone by Lindsey Ferrentino, directed by Dr. Pete Smith: Combat veteran Jess comes home to Florida after three tours in Afghanistan bearing deep physical and emotional scars. An innovative, experimental video game therapy offers an escape from her excruciating pain - but can virtual reality help Jess come to terms with the altered reality of her hometown, relationships, and dreams? This timely, tough, and humorous new drama received the Woodward/Newman Award and the Laurents/Hatcher Citation of Excellence.
"A bracing drama that confronts an achingly topical issue with hardheaded honesty and admirable compassion. Lindsey Ferrentino is a brave playwright and a writer of dauntless conviction." - New York Times |
