Photo Flash: MTC Presents 9 CIRCLES 10/14-11/7
The newest play by Equivocation playwright Bill Cain, 9 Circles is the riveting story of a young American soldier on trial for his life. After being honorably discharged, Daniel Reeves is arrested and prosecuted for acts that he may have committed during the war. Thrown into a labyrinth of military bureaucracy, the confused and troubled teenager tries to navigate through layers of commanding officers, public defenders, lawyers, preachers, and army psychiatrists. This dramatic, compelling, and visceral thriller inspired by actual events is sure to be the most talked-about world premiere of the season.
