Synopsis
Written by Mike Walker and starring Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright Tracy Letts.
A play drawing on the writings of reclusive artist Henry Darger, imagining his inner life. It focuses on two obsessions - of the hunter Detective and his prey, and two characters locked in a conflict that flickers between fantasy and the streets and which unfolds from 1910 to 1970. Recorded in Chicago by actors from the Steppenwolf Theatre Company.
