Theater: Clurman Theatre
Once members of a band together. Now on opposite sides of a war. Can a bond formed through music survive a world spinning out of control? Working Theater, New York’s only professional off-Broadway theater dedicated to producing plays for and about working people, presents Stefanie Zadravec’s Helen Hayes’ Award-winning Honey Brown Eyes. Honey Brown Eyes takes an unflinching look at the lengths ordinary people will go to hold on in the face of brutal chaos. Set in two kitchens Honey Brown Eyes portrays the 1992 war in Bosnia through two encounters of unsettling intimacy.
