directed by Heather Cohn
What is the cost of changing history?
The whimsical comedy of Pretty Theft expands into the epic journey of Flux’s fall production, August Schulenburg’s The Lesser Seductions of History.

Fringe NYC award-winning director Heather Cohn teams up again with the playwright of Other Bodies, Riding the Bull and Rue.
