Bang the Drum Slowly May 20, 2012

Set in the honorable days of baseball before free agency brought on enormous contracts and doping scandals, Mark Harris' drama follows a super star pitcher from New York and his friendship with a struggling third-string catcher from the country. Bang the Drum Slowly depicts the intense bond that grows between two lives intertwined by chance and kept together by loyalty.

by Mark Harris, adapted for the stage by Eric Simonson, directed by Michael Menendian
