The Native American concept of the "red road"-considered to be both life's right path, and conversely, a path of conflict and turbulence-runs through Brett C. Leonard's The Long Red Road, a provocative new play about how one person's anguish can tear a family apart. Sam (Tom Hardy: Bronson, RocknRolla, upcoming Mad Max 4 - Fury Road) attempts to exorcise his past and drink away his demons on a South Dakota Indian reservation. When his older brother Bob (Chris McGarry: National Tour of Doubt, Salome on Broadway with Al Pacino) appears at his doorstep, Sam must face the devastating, life-altering effects his role in a tragic accident has had on his loved ones-Annie (Chicagoan Greta Honold: The Wild Duck), Sandra (Katy Sullivan: a former Goodman intern) and 13-year-old Tasha (Chicagoan Fiona Robert: High School Musical 2). The Long Red Road contains adult subject matter. For mature audiences only.
