Psychological Drama BEFORE THE FLOOD to Premiere At The 2026 New York Theater Festival
The premiere run of BEFORE THE FLOOD is scheduled for three exclusive performances in January 2026.
The compelling psychological drama BEFORE THE FLOOD, a new play written by Vince Goodman, is set to debut as an official selection of the New York Theater Festival's 2026 Winter Season.
Set against the gritty backdrop of 1971 New York City, this intense, 20-minute production delves into a dark and complex narrative. The play chronicles the struggle of a young sex worker striving to break free from the manipulative grasp of his pimp- his mother, while simultaneously navigating the corrosive dynamics of a toxic family structure. BEFORE THE FLOOD is an exploration of power, control, survival, and the enduring human spirit in the face of immense adversity.
