FROM HARRISON: “the bandaged place is the play I said I would never write. Swore, really. Admittedly, my plays tend to borrow from real life, from my real life, but more than any of my other writings, the events of this play… well, suffice it to say that they hit incredibly close to home… definitely too close for any kind of comfort. This ‘closeness’ is probably why it had to be written. I don’t remember who it was that said to me, ‘Write what scares you most, what keeps you up at night, what haunts you.’ the bandaged place is that for me—the thing that continues to haunt.” Read an interview with Harrison about the play »
