Cherry Docs
by David Gow

January 23 - February 10

cherry-docs-pic2.gifIn this explosive play, Gow provides a provocative exploration of the nature of hate and its inescapable and insidious presence in our society.  

It follows Mike, an unrepentant skinhead on trial for murder, and his Jewish legal-aid defense lawyer, Danny who prides himself on his liberal tolerance. In the process, Danny must come to terms with the feelings Mike unearths in him while Mike's life is suddenly in the hands of a man whom he wishes were dead. In this harrowing story we find a dialectic between two world views. It is a visceral, emotionally charged situation.  It is not an easy play. It is complex. It demands thought.

Without the J, our lives would be completely different. It is a complement and supplement to our family.
