    05/17/2019 8:00 pm - 05/17/2019 8:00 pm
    Danny and the Deep Blue Sea - by John Patrick Shanley
    Directed by Justin Treasure
    Set in the Bronx NY, this iconic play, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Shanley collides us with two of society's beautiful, yet dysfunctional city misfits. After a chance encounter in a forgotten bar, their defenses dissolve and a spontaneous night of heart thumping confession, love and chaos unfolds. With no easy way out, both are forced to dive deep in order to find a forgiveness that offers the rare chance of a more hopeful future. This is an explosive, deeply affecting play exploring the issues of personal alienation and the redemptive power of love.
