Synopsis

Three years ago, Sarah Kennedy thought she was hired as a translator for a corporate military prison in Baghdad, only to discover that she would be acting as an interrogator instead, retrieving information from prisoners of war — by any means necessary.

Now, Lily Strauss, a disgraced reporter in the waning days of newspaper journalism, must uncover Sarah's story, cutting through webs of corporate lies and government deception until finally faced with the choice between her own journalistic ideals and the devastating consequences of telling the truth.

A political thriller, ON THE HEAD OF A PIN is an exploration of who watches the watchers and what happens when they look away.“Frank Winters is a promising playwright.”

—Frank Scheck, New York Post“Expert, thrilling, and surefooted as anything on stage in New York City this season!

Vividly told, vividly acted, vividly directed — ON THE HEAD OF A PIN sweeps us away!” —Theaterscene.net“Captivating — this is a play to place on your ‘must see’ list!” —Theatre Reviews Limited“A fast-paced, straight-on, suspenseful script — these ‘strange men’ definitely promise a broad appeal to theatre audiences!” —Galo Magazine
