Early, Frey & Lage Lead NYC Reading of DEAD MAN'S HAND, 3/15

The reading of John Holleman's new play DEAD MAN'S HAND will star John Early, Jessica Frey, and Jordan Lage, and will take place March 15th at Atlantic Theater Company's Stage 2 Theatre.

The reading will be directed by Holleman himself, as it gets its New York City premiere. DEAD MAN'S HAND features two main characters locked in a deadly struggle for dominance, survival and acceptance. Their circumstance is slightly surreal. Of note to those interested in dramaturgy, neither character has a dark secret that is revealed in the second act. The show is funny and harrowing, an interesting theatrical cocktail.
