The world premiere of Sandy Rustin's Struck begins performances next Thursday, June 30 at New Jersey Repertory Company.

The play is described as "a serious comedy about a (possibly) cosmic event." It follows Vera Resnick, who, after being struck by a bike while crossing an East Village intersection, feels an eerie connection to the college-aged student responsible for the collision.
