SAVAGE IN LIMBO runs Nov. 9-25

SAVAGE IN LIMBO
Presented by Untethered Theater
Nov. 9-25
Clifton

Directed by Kevin Crowley

Cast: Leah Strasser as Denise Savage, Mindy Heithaus as Linda Rotunda, Carter Bratton as Tony Aronica, Carol Brammer as April White & Glenn Schaich as Murk

A Savage walks into a bar. She has a purse full of cash and a consuming need to make a change in her life, starting with the apartment she shares with her mother. At this Bronx bar she’s surrounded by other stunted losers, fellow 32 year olds who peaked long ago. Some of them find freedom at the bottom, while others find they’re still alone. Savage in Limbo is a heartrending dark comedy about unrealized potential and realizing you never had potential to begin with.
