An incident of bullying leads to a horrifying consequence in this timely new play that follows the journey of two families: before, in the moments leading up to the event; and after, as they pick up the pieces once the news cameras have gone home. Parenting, bullying, and its fallout are examined in this heart-wrenching new play from the playwright and director that brought you Daniel’s Husband that leaves audiences breathless.
