Synopsis

A famous author comes face-to-face with America's most notorious terrorist.

One has a story to write,the other has a story to tell.

As the clock ticks on Death Row, the bond between the two men grows.

Terre Haute is inspired by Gore Vidal's famous essays on Oklahoma bomber Timothy McVeigh.

A scorching new play by one of America's greatest living writers, it premiered to critical acclaim at the Edinbrugh Fringe Festival in August 2006, before touring the UK in spring 2007.
