"A gripping drama" ~ The San Francisco Examiner
~
"You'll have to pay for the whole seat, even though
you'll rarely use more than the edge"
~ Curtains Up Magazine
Second Wind presents
Vigilance February 3rd through the 25th!
An uncooperative
newcomer drives his neighbors down a path of mutual destruction, laying bare long-buried secrets in this richly
imagined, award-winning drama by Bay Area playwright Ian Walker.
"A winner"~ SF Examiner
And the critics are talking: "Second Wind has a winner of a show with Vigilance, a gripping drama...
provocative, substantive, and cleverly staged," proclaims Leslie Katz of the
San Francisco Examiner. Rob Avila
of the SF Bay Guardian writes, "a sharp, lucid, involving drama... well-honed and seamlessly staged." And
Charles Kruger of the Examiner.com and
TheatreStorm declares: "the ensemble is excellent... a remarkably
well-written piece... of impressive political and psychological sensibility. A satisfying drama with plenty
of food for thought."
Under the guise of “poker night,” three neighbors band together to protect their homes and families from a violent
newcomer. Having won a house in a promotional raffle, Tom Duncan has proceeded to dismantle the neighborhood,
bit by unsettling bit. With their options thinning, the neighbors confront him, escalating the conflict to a height where
murder seems the only likely outcome. But as their own secrets spill forth, can they survive the aftermath?
Winner of the John Golden Prize, this provocative drama examines the thin line between vigilantism, murder, and
justice.
"Walker explores fascinating philosophical themes and imbues
his characters with passion and points of view," writes the San Francisco Examiner (The Gravedigger's Tango).
Vigilance-- directed by
the playwright himself-- is one you won't want to miss!
