THE HEADLANDS
By Christopher Chen, directed by Pam MacKinnon
Directed by Tony Award winner and A.C.T. Artistic Director Pam MacKinnon, this striking, thought-provoking 21st-century noir explores the hidden power of stories untold and the flawed narratives we tell ourselves.
The Headlands is a complicated love letter to our city. Playwright Chen dives deep into his San Francisco roots to tell the story of true crime fan Henry Wong.
For Wong, his father's unexplained death is the ultimate cold case. But as he digs into the SFPD evidence, he's haunted by the myths and misdirections of his own family history.
How did his parents really meet? What's behind the detective's warnings about the case? And what is hidden in the Marin Headlands?
After its acclaimed world premiere at New York's Lincoln Center Theater in 2020, The Headlands comes home to San Francisco in a brand-new production.
In connection with The Headlands, A.C.T. will offer numerous InterACT events--many of which are presented free of charge--that will give patrons opportunities to get closer to the action while having an entire night out at the theater.
