The Long Red Road

A devastating play about the impact of addiction, THE LONG RED ROAD introduces us to Sammy, who has fled his past and landed in South Dakota, where he is slowly drinking himself to death. When his young daughter arrives desperate to reunite with her father, he must decide between the self-hatred that consumes him and the responsibilities he's tried to leave behind. "THE LONG RED ROAD is a great work ... intensely moody, slowly paced, intimate and compellingly painful ... The play gets under your skin and convincingly takes you to the most unpleasant of psychic terrains. It ruins your day and, strangely, leaves you wanting more in that unrelentingly human but foolish belief in better tomorrows." -Steven Oxman, Variety " A] raw and arresting new drama from Brett C Leonard ... a deeply melancholy portrait of the horrific familial cost of addiction ... Leonard is a fascinating and authentic writer." -Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune "... a powerfully redemptive celebration of forgiveness and unconventional beauty ... startling, moving and at times, difficult to bear in its stark authenticity." -Catey Sullivan, Chicago Theater "THE LONG RED ROAD is a brilliant masterpiece ... a story you won't soon forget." -Philip Potempa, N W Indiana Times
