By Zora Howard
Directed by Lileana Blain-Cruz
A Co-Production with Goodman Theatre
BUST is produced in association with Sonia Friedman Productions, Khaliah Neal and Thomas Swayne
It’s not only hell that breaks loose in this ground-breaking, form-defying, laugh-out-loud new drama from Pulitzer Prize finalist playwright Zora Howard. Retta and Reggie are enjoying their usual evening on the porch when a longtime neighbor is pulled over by the police just before turning into his driveway. Everything goes as expected — until the unexpected happens. Humor, suspense, and surrealism converge in this gripping interrogation of what it costs to be Black and free. Lileana Blain-Cruz, a “master of curating chaos” (The New York Times), directs.
Ticket prices start at $25.
This production is a recipient of an Edgerton New Play Award.
This project was made possible by the Helen Gurley Brown BOLD Theater Ventures Fund.
