Synopsis

Something unspeakable happened in the middle of a cornfield two years ago.

Now, at last, the upstanding residents of Milton, Nebraska – from the cop and the nurse to the co-captains of the dance team, and even Bobbie himself – are ready to tell you their sides of the story.

This comedy-about-a-tragedy follows a sprawling cast of characters as a small town strives to make sense of senseless violence.

Press Reviews

"Thematically and structurally, Lubischer’s world premiere is remarkable, one of the first great new works of this nascent season... Bobbie Clearly is a collective portrait, a vision of a town (a country, a world) at odds with itself over how it wants to be understood."
— Newcity Stage

"Alex Lubischer’s three-act play reveals itself in layers, like a Russian nesting doll... There’s a good deal of comic relief, but bleakness and enigma rule the day, and the overall effect is haunting."
— The New Yorker

"[A] very honest, truthful and evenhanded look at the benefits and limitations of reconciliation, respectful to the pain of those who live in small-town America and also awake to what such communities can give to the nation."
— The Chicago Tribune
