Set deep in a Florida swamp, The Arsonists is a father-daughter tale of grief, loss and redemption. Inspired by the Greek tragedy Electra, this play with music is a contemporary American myth that explores the relationship between parent and child in that small space between death and life, the last breath before the awakening.
10 words or less: When arson’s your job, things get lost in the fire.
Rated: PG-13.
The Arsonists is produced at Know Theatre of Cincinnati as a part of a National New Play Network Rolling World Premiere. Other partnering theaters are Azuka Theatre (PA), Perseverance Theatre (AK), and Capital Stage (CA).
