Brooklyn Repertory Theater presents Blue Surge

Brooklyn Repertory returns with our intimate second production - a sharp and poignant social drama written by contemporary female playwright, Rebecca Gilman.

Synopsis:
Curt is a working class cop struggling to rise through the ranks and prove himself equal to his fiance, Beth, an artist from a privileged class. Sandy is the nineteen-year-old prostitute he first tries to arrest, then attempts to help. When his promotion is derailed by a sting operation gone wrong, Curt finds himself drawn to Sandy and her struggle to rise above the circumstance of her birth.

What Rebecca Gilman makes of this familiar scenario is something startlingly real and compelling, delving deeply into the small space that can divide a feeling of hope from one of hopelessness, as Curt and Sandy both try to get a foothold in the American dream of a house, a job, a life, a relationship with another human being.
