Ruivivar (known as Carlos Nieto on "Third Watch") directs his play, billed this way: "Set in a bank safe after a botched robbery, Safe revolves around the forced camaraderie and conflicts which develop between give complete strangers with nothing in common but their survival instinct. Paranoia fear and guilt begin to set in and uncover the core of each of these characters' true selves, leading to some startling discoveries. The unlikely group traverses a myriad of dilemmas in their quest to escape — forever changing their lives."
Co-writer Glazer is the co-founder, director and lead writer of the sketch comedy groups Tune In and Stoma.
Safe is presented by Imua! Theatre Company in association with Broadsword Productions.
