Photo Flash: 'King of Shadows' at Theater for the New City

King of Shadows, a new Off-Broadway play by Roberto Aguirre-Sacasa, centers around Nihar (Satya Bhabha), a 15-year-old homeless gay runaway who claims he's being pursued by demons. When young social worker Jessica (Kat Foster) takes him in, he forms a dangerous bond with her teenage sister Sarah (Sarah Lord). The famous fog of San Francisco mixes with a fog of fantasy and fear as each try to protect one another against a danger they don't understand. Connie Grappo directs.
