Edgewise - Presented by Theatre [502]
Edgewise by Eliza Clark directed by Mike Brooks In a modern America beset by civil war there’s no such thing as a typical day on the job. Too young to be drafted, Marco, Emma, and Ruckus routinely brave air strikes and highway shootouts to make sure the fryers are turned on. With the arrival of a stranger of uncertain motivations and questionable allegiance, the three young fast-food employees are faced with stark choices that pit their hope and humanity against survival instincts and the fog of war. Each decision brings the trio closer to the point of no return in this razor-sharp thriller where the first casualty of war is innocence.
