Justin McDevitt's Latest Play to Receive Reading at Theater for the New City
Starring Polly Mckie, Akiko Akita, Aidan Martinez, Dave Mcdermott, and Tony Lehman.
Justin McDevitt returns to Theater for the New City for the debut reading of his brand new play HAUNT ME on Monday September 13th at 7pm.
A young man arrives without notice on an eccentric widow's doorstep. In a flash, she is Aunt Janet again and Ness, her estranged nephew (by choice), is returned to a home full of dark memories. But it's not just the past that haunts these two weathered souls, it's their exes.
Their deceased beaus keep the air hot and heavy, no matter how toxic it may be...begging the question, if you could have a sip of the poison again- wouldn't you? Haunt Me is a meditation on grief, guilt, and desire.
Starring Polly McKie, Akiko Akita, Aidan Martinez, Dave Mcdermott, and Tony Lehman
