In an abandoned building overlooking Ground Zero, a woman pieces together a story that gives her grief meaning, only to have it demolished by the man who brought her there. Did they really just meet in a bar? Did she really lose someone in the Towers? Competing narratives abound in the US premiere of a play by award-winning writer/director Joshua Crone that had audiences talking in London and Berlin. A darkly comic look at the aftermath of 9/11, with asides on the geopolitical ramifications of bad sex, the art of tactical bed-making and the occult significance of sharing a hairbrush.
A LightFormLab production featuring Dori Levit and Joshua Crone.
Music by Jonathan Crone

Critical praise for recent productions:
SOLITAIRE, premiered at Hollywood's Underground Theater in 2014:
"Brings up serious issues as to the realities and consequences, of war and makes Joshua Crone a playwright to watch."
- Marilyn Tower Oliver, Los Feliz Ledger
"The action is tight, compact, and never lets down from its first moments to its conclusion."
- Rich Borowy, Accessibly Live
"Dark, creepy, yet insanely interesting."
- Tony Capobianco, AXS
WASHED IN THE BLOOD, winner of the Producer's Choice award at the 2016 Hollywood Fringe Festival:
"Crone's new drama is a tightly-wound piece that packs considerable emotion into its brief run time."
- Kurt Gardner, ArtsBeatLA.
