"Sometime Child" by Richard Bruce, directed by Stephan Morrow at Theater for the New City

A successful lawyer, John Stanley, is attacked and robbed by two high school dropouts. He wakes up in the hospital only to find that one of his two assailants, a young man named Clarence, works as a janitor on the night shift. Partly to distract himself from his pain and partly from a growing admiration for the youth, the lawyer becomes his mentor. Clarence thrives in the mentorship, but uneasily: he fears being exposed for his role in the holdup. We watch as an unusual relationship fills the gaps in the lives of the lawyer and his two young assailants. There are life lessons to be found in this play about clashing cultures and the unlikely friendships that can break down socio-economic and racial divides.
