The Innocents

The Innocents by Steven Drukman will run from April 15–May 14, 2011 in the Cook Theatre.

A darkly comic mystery, The Innocents is a brilliant and witty examination of the difference between innocence and naiveté. The family unit constructed by a middle aged gay man and his closest female friend is threatened when two very appealing young men enter the picture. The romantic and sexual dynamic tilts wildly in this fascinating new play that touches on what it means to be an American in the 21st century.

CONTAINS MATURE THEMES & LANGUAGE, MINOR VIOLENCE

The Innocents was first heard last year at our Unplugged New Play Festival.

“One of the great joys of working in the theatre is the opportunity to develop new work, to be part of giving expression to what is happening in our contemporary world. We rely on our writers to observe, ask questions and help us grasp our moment. Steven Drukman’s The Innocents is a smart, sexy and fresh romance with a political charge that is utterly timely in its depiction of behavior, ideas and language. After the extremely positive response of our UNPLUGGED audience to a semi-staged reading, we are thrilled to be presenting the premiere of Steven’s provocative and entertaining play in a production by some of the best young talent in the country.” –Michael Donald Edwards, Asolo Rep Producing Artistic Director
