Tony nominated and Oscar winner Eric Simonson adapts, in a New York Premiere, Kurt Vonnegut's classic American anti-war book Slaughterhouse-Five. The play introduces us to Billy Pilgrim, a man who becoems unstuck in time after he is abducted by aliens from the planet Tralfamadore. In a plot-scrambling display of virtuousity, we follow Pilgrim simultaneously through all phases of his life, concentrating on his (and Vonnegut's) shattering experience as an American prisoner of war who witnesses the frebombing of Dresden.
