Play the Hand That's Dealt

Lockdown (Craven)
by Douglas Craven
Highlights
Synopsis
In a dark classroom, eight students sit in an “official lockdown,” not knowing if it’s just a drill or an actual emergency.
When a hysterical younger girl bolts from the room and the teacher follows, the remaining students are left alone to decide if it’s safer to stay or run.
This moving production by Douglas Craven speaks to modern fears about gun violence with delicacy and theatrical intensity.
