World Premiere!
“Ravensridge”
By T.S. Cook
(author of “The China Syndrome”)
Inspired by real events.
An American steelworker has lost faith
in his future. A Russian detective has lost
faith in his country. Both have been taught
to hate and fear the other. When one is accused
of murder, their lives collide.
... exciting new drama, which explores ideological issues to keen effect."
LA Times - Recommended
"Serious political plays are as rare as honest politicians these days - as an audience, we seem to prefer our politics leavened by humor. A good serious political play is rarer still, which makes T.S. Cook's thoughtful if despairing "Ravensridge" all the more valuable ...witty and powerful... The world premiere production at the Fremont Center Theater succeeds as a galvanizing drama under James Reynolds' lucid direction, and benefits from a talented cast."
