with a workshop presentation of a new play by Kristoffer Diaz...
in rep with Israel Horovitz's GLOUCESTER BLUE.

F**KING VIGWAN (OR SWAG)
Vigwan is an awful man with impeccable swag. Greg, who has no swag, has had enough. But when one man vanquishes another with great swag, does the second man's swag become the first's own swag? And which one of those dead bodies is really a zombie? A horrible play about horrible people that should be seen by no one.
