Is This a Room - 2021 Broadway History , Info & More
Is This a Room is the astonishingly true story of Reality Winner, the 25-year-old former Air Force linguist who was surprised at her home by the FBI on June 3, 2017. The play’s text is taken from the FBI transcript of her interrogation – and from these pages, Tina Satter has wrought an extraordinary human drama between Reality (Emily Davis) and the agents who question her. In this theatrical thriller, Reality’s life is upended before our eyes, and we’re left questioning American values and the very nature of the truth.

BROADWAY REVIEW: An FBI sting becomes a Broadway show in ‘Is This a Room?’
9 / 10
It's a fascinating piece in every way, replete with fabulous central performances from both Emily Davis (who plays Winner) and Pete Simpson (who plays the lead FBI agent at the interrogation). You're left with a picture of a young woman of conscience who was hardly prepared for such heavy-handed government intervention (Becca Blackwell and Will Combs play the other two agents).

8 / 10
Immaculately directed by Satter herself, and staged on a flat platform flanked by elevated stands designed by Parker Lutz, the production finds agonizing claustrophobia in the mundanity of bureaucracy-of purposely blank systems built on talking around everything, of getting to the point, of facing the inevitable.
