Lucie Tiberghien directs the work which is slated to begin previews Oct. 10 and open Oct. 22 for a limited run through Nov. 5 at The Public Theatre. Tickets go on sale Sept. 15, but are available now by purchasing a LABPASS.

LAByrinth Company members Carlo Alban (References to Salvador Dali Make Me Hot) reprises the role he created in the Barn Series reading of this new work opposite Quincy Tyler Bernstine (Matt & Ben), Lee Sellars (The Alchemist) and Isiah Whitlock Jr. (Four).

The Washington D.C.-set play follows a widow (Bernstine) who is timid about re engaging in her life when she meets a cop through a male friend. When he discovers secrets about the new beau's past, she struggles with how much she wants or needs to know.
