George Byron Wright
December 6, 2018 @ 7:00 pm - 8:00 pm
FreeAshley and Ned Pine have spoken perhaps six words over yet another dispirited evening meal when attackers kick in their kitchen door wielding aluminum bats and no explanations. The blows rain down. When Ned revives in a hospital bed with a throbbing concussion, his father-in-law, Isaac, is waiting to divulge that Ashley is broken and in a deep coma. The two men now find themselves reluctant confederates vying over Ashley’s care. With this startling beginning, George Byron Wright sets the stage for I Am Ned Pine (C3), a captivating story launched by evil intent and driven by traumatic loss. From his suddenly misfired life, Ned struggles to rediscover who he is, has been, and perhaps will be.
