Coming this July: Moah love and murdah!
THE POINT – Murph and Scanlan join love birds Lugo and Teenie for a debaucherous party deep in the Massachusetts woods. At first, they miss the underlying tension between the couple but then realize that the night is about to take a deadly turn…
Ali’s latest play, an exploration of class warfare, opioids, love, and murder in Western Massachusetts, has been programmed as part of The Road Theater’s 15th Anniversary Summer Playwrights Festival.
THE POINT, which was chosen from over 900 submission worldwide, is a dark and comedic thriller based on a true story – a murder in the woods amongst ‘friends’.
Set behind the “Tofu Curtain”, an invisible county line that divides the quaint college town of North Hampton from the run-down factory town of Holyoke, Massachusetts, THE POINT examines the rise of economic inequity and corresponding violence, plus the opioid epidemic in Small Town America. While North Hampton boasts Smith College, neighboring Holyoke is infamous for having one of the largest heroin and Fentanyl trades in the New England area.
