Red-Haired Thomas
March 2009
Written by Robert Lyons
Directed by Oliver Butler
His daughter doesn’t need him. His wife might leave him. His newspaper vender might just kill him.
A gambler's darkly comic, spiraling descent into a paranoid mythology of power-point presentations and hostage videos. Can Thomas Jefferson save him? (With songs)
“Highly original... ingeniously daffy... so entertaining! This sweetly fractured fairy tale is a tasty slice of city life that zips along with eclectic humor and the occasional gut punch.”
–New York Times
"Intelligent, engaging and absolutely fresh!."
