LEWISTON & CLARKSTON

OCTOBER 10 – DECEMBER 2 2018

Written by Samuel D. Hunter

Directed by Davis McCallum (The Whale)

A gutted theater. Two plays. One epic evening. An achingly human exploration of the end of the American experiment.

LEWISTON & CLARKSTON will be presented on a double bill this fall on the Rattlestick Mainstage. It will be the first time ever that the two plays - written to be in conversation with one another - will play the same space. LEWISTON & CLARKSTON reunites playwright Samuel D. Hunter and director Davis McCallum, the award-winning team behind The Whale and at Rattlestick, The Few. This production is supported by The Venturous Theater Fund of the Tides Foundation.
