staging the imagined truth with speed & violence

“Ain’t no reason to watch a pretty little lady in a pink dress pick up her husband’s brains on a sunny afternoon.”
- Captain Fritz

Sunny Afternoon
a refreshing new play
Synopsis:
Over the course of a frenzied 46-hour interrogation following the assassination of President John F. Kennedy, Lee Harvey Oswald is questioned by Dallas Homicide Captain Will Fritz and a shifting cast of detectives, federal agents, and government officials. Set entirely in Fritz’s office, Sunny Afternoon is a pressure cooker of dark comedy and explosive drama, where historical fact and theatrical invention collide. What begins as procedural interrogation unravels into a grimly absurd dissection of American paranoia, power, and the performance of truth.
