Defunkt Theatre Presents ON THE EDGE: TRIFLES and DUTCHMAN
By: BWW News Desk Jan. 23, 2017
Two trailblazing classics combine to make an electrifying evening in which Defunkt distills America's history of racism and gender inequity into a scintillating exploration of the way we live now. Defunkt's own Sarah Armitage directs.
