New York City
In Don’t Go Gentle, by all accounts, Judge Lawrence Driver was a powerhouse on the bench but a failure at home. Now retired and widowed, Lawrence volunteers to help Tanya, a young African American single mother caught up in legal red tape – and the kind of woman he regularly put behind bars. But do-overs don’t come easy for either Lawrence or Tanya, especially when race, class and the long-simmering resentments of Judge Driver’s adult children boil to the surface in this scorching and surprising family drama.
A world premiere by Stephen Belber, featuring Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright and actor Michael Cristofer in an unforgettable role.
