By Produced by Eight Forty-EightDueling Critics: Tracy Letts’ latest ‘Man from Nebraska’ hits the stage
By Produced by Eight Forty-EightHave you ever been at an existential fork in the road? Stuck in a rut? Wondering if there’s more to life than the same-old-same-old? How do you break out of it? And what are the consequences of a prison break – for you and those you love?
