Descripción
"A clever commentary on the social climate of the United States with privilege, power, and fame at its heart...an incredibly well-crafted play." -Theatre Weekly
1978. Holly, a young heiress, sits in a California prison awaiting trial for her role in a string of armed robberies that have captivated the nation. Her only hope? Her hotshot lawyer, Robert-who might make his name, if he can save hers.
2017. Robert, now one of the most famous attorneys in America, faces a different kind of trial: the court of public opinion. In a last-ditch bid for redemption, he turns to the one former client who could help him plead his case. But will she?
Inspired by the real-life trial of Patty Hearst, Katherine Moar's play Ragdoll is a psychedelic swirl of celebrity, violence and scandal.
