The Infliction of Cruelty, selected from 216 shows.
"When children from a distinguished family reunite for a celebration honoring their father, they enact a plan of retribution based on a deep secret one of the siblings learned about him 15 years earlier. Their moment of hope, however, is eclipsed by a shattering lie," state press notes.
The cast features Elizabeth Van Meter, Holter Graham (John Waters'
Hairspray, Fly Away Home), Justin Barrett, Aimee DeShayes and
Pawel Szajda (
Under the Tuscan Sun).
The Infliction of Cruelty has a set designed by Jerome Martin (
Eat the Runt, NSMT's
Camelot) and lighting designed by Grant W. Yeager (assistant on Rufus Wainright at Carnegie Hall,
Drumstruck, Miss Witherspoon). Costume design is by Alana Israelson. Froomkin, Yeager, and Martin comprised the assistant creative team of Off-Broadway's
Almost, Maine.Tickets for
