Does a horrible childhood excuse a heinous deed? Inspired by actual events, Coyote on a Fence tells the story of two men living on death row under vastly different circumstances. Young Bobby Reyburn is a likable, illiterate member of the Aryan Brotherhood who committed a horrific crime. John Brennan is an educated, arrogant writer whose crime may actually be deemed a favor to society. Who deserves to die? With language both powerful and precise this timely and provocative play raises the question whether one can be sentenced to death but worthy of life.

IRNE Award nominated director Daniel Bourque directs Cameron Gosselin, Mark Krawczyk (courtesy of AEA), Rob Orzalli, and Regine Vital in this penetrating new drama that provides no clear verdict, just utterly compelling theatre.

Bruce Graham began his career as a playwright at the Philadelphia Festival Theatre for New Plays (PFT) in 1984 with Burkie. He won the Rosenthal Prize for Coyote On A Fence, two consecutive Barrymore Awards for Best New Play (Something Intangible and Any Given Monday) and Chicago's Jefferson Award for The Outgoing Tide. Graham has taught playwriting and film at Drexel University and University of Pennsylvania. His textbook The Collaborative Playwright (co-written with Michele Volansky) was published in 2007.
