In Steve & Idi, according to an announcement, "Steve's life is spinning out of control. His work is going nowhere, his lover dumps him, his friendships are strained and, as if that's not enough, the ghost of General Idi Amin, the Ugandan dictator, bursts through his window with a very strange demand." The work was developed at the Sundance Theatre Lab and appeared in Rattlestick's "DirtyWorks" reading series.

Grimm will be joined in the cast by Michael Busillo (Henry & Mudge), Greg Keller (The Seagull), Zachary Knower (Pericles) and Evan Parke (The Lion King).

The design team features Kris Stone (sets), Jessica Ford (costumes), Les Dickert (lights), Scott Killian (sound) and Mary Robinette Kowal (props). Emily M. Arnold serves as production stage manager with Jacqueline Prats as assistant stage manager.

Playwright Grimm has also penned Measure for Pleasure, Kit Marlowe, The Learned Ladies of Park Avenue, Sheridan or Schooled in Scandal, The Savages of Hartford, Once In Elysium and Chick, The Great Osram among others.
