MadLab's Ohio premiere production of The Wave That Set The Fire by Ellen K. Graham will take place Fridays and Saturdays Oct 5th - Oct 20th, 2018, with a special preview performance on Thursday, Oct. 4, at MadLab, 227 N. 3rd St., in Columbus.

In a threadbare and not-so-distant future, 17-year-old Linden is accused of a terrible crime. When Petra, a government agent, arrives to investigate, Linden's family-mother, father, uncle, aunt-must decide whether to save him at all costs or help bring him to justice. THE WAVE THAT SET THE FIRE explores the responsibility parents bear for the actions of their children and how the choices of previous generations affect those who come after.

Ellen K. Graham is a Denver native and a graduate of the University of Chicago. She has been a finalist for Clubbed Thumb's Biennial Commission, the Shakespeare's Sister Fellowship, and the Global Age Project.
