The Agony and the Agony Developmental Lab Production

Written by Nicky Silver
Directed by Terry Kinney
With Victoria Clark, Michael Esper, Harry van Gorkum, Cheyenne Jackson, Nicky Silver, Marilyn Torres

In THE AGONY AND THE AGONY, a once celebrated playwright, down on his luck, brings the major people in his life together in a last ditch effort to connect with the human race, and get a play produced. Sexual duplicity, blackmail, and the ghost of Nathan Leopold converge on the Upper West Side as our characters – who may be short on talent but long on zeal – scratch, claw and scheme for their piece of the theatrical pie.
