'Dana H.' Calendar

CALENDAR OF EVENTS

May – June 2019

EVENT: “Dana H.” By Lucas Hnath

Adapted from Interviews with Dana Higginbotham Conducted by Steve Cosson

Directed by Les Waters

World Premiere

Co-produced with Goodman Theatre

DESCRIPTION: “Dana H.” tells the real-life story of Hnath’s own mother. A nondenominational

hospice chaplain, Dana had stared death in the face on countless occasions, but

when she helped a mentally ill ex-convict turn his life around, she suddenly found her

own life hanging in the balance. “Dana H.” recounts the harrowing five-month

odyssey as she was held captive by, traveled with and eventually escaped her

unstable captor. Told Dana’s own words, reconstructed for the stage by her son,

award-winning playwright Lucas Hnath (“A Doll’s House, Part 2,”

“The Christians”), this innovative work of theatre shatters the boundaries of the form

and of our understanding of good and evil.
