When Tom and Susan, a New Jersey couple, lose their son in the attack on the twin towers, it begins to affect their marriage, friends and community…
As Tom’s grief forces him to question the post 9/11 orthodoxy, he finds himself not only at odds with his wife, but also with the government itself. As the neighbours take sides, shock jocks rant, conspiracy theories abound and politicians wave the flag, Tom and Susan are pushed to breaking point as one particular political clique appropriates a nation’s mourning.
This is the world premiere of Anders Lustgarten's new play.
