"The present resurrects the past and the past rescues the present in two
New York stories — one set in 1911 and the other in 2001. Two people in
love struggle to discover what freedom truly means in these volatile
landscapes when their worlds collide."
Longbottom's Broadway credits include Side Show, The Scarlet Pimpernel and the 2002 revival of The Flower Drum Song. Rieling's has worked on the Broadway productions of Miss Saigon and Les Miserables. Cowart (The Salacious Uncle Baldrick) serves as artistic director of the Offbeat Theatre Company and Tucker has worked on the Broadway productions of Chitty Chitty Bang Bang, Cats and Aida.
