World Premiere at New York City Center Stage I

An exciting world premiere by the author of the Pulitzer Prize winning play, Doubt, now running on Broadway. DEFIANCE is set on a United States Marine Corps base in North Carolina in 1971. Two officers, one black and one white, are on a collision course over race, women and the high cost of doing the right thing. This riveting surprising new work is about power, love and responsibility – who has it, who wants it and who deserves it. Directing is Doug Hughes, who was honored with a Tony Award for Doubt.
