"...may be the best thing I've seen on stage in Atlanta in years." — Eleanor Ringel Cater, Atlanta Business Chronicle

"...seems cut from the same cloth as House of Cards...feels like a successful fusion of live theater and compelling television." — Curt Holman, Creative Loafing

"The brilliant set design...perfectly echoes the shifting, unfixed, and often indeterminate power dynamics between the three characters." — Andrew Alexander, ArtsATL

Discovered by the Alliance Theatre in the Alliance/Kendeda National Graduate Playwriting Competition’s second year, Kenneth Lin has become one of the most widely commissioned and produced Asian-American writers in America. He is also making waves in other media – he is a writer on the Emmy-winning Netflix series House of Cards.

In this critically acclaimed new political drama described by the New York Times as “absorbing,” a potential political star is being groomed for a big race in New York City. But a former girlfriend might tarnish this young politico’s sterling reputation if a political fixer can’t find her price. A thriller of a play written with an astute and blisteringly contemporary eye for dialogue that contains surprises up to the final curtain, this wonderful play will keep you on the edge of your seat.
