The Word

I directed a reading of The Word, a new play by Zay Amsbury, at SF Playhouse on October 12.

The Word by Zay Amsbury tells the story of the relationship between a small northern California town and the religious cult that sets up a compound nearby. When the town's police chief and the compound's leader form a strange covenant, the two communities are forever linked. As the world changes around them, the community leaders must compromise to keep their homes secure, while their children fight to maintain the values they were raised with – even if it means tearing down the only world they have ever known.
