September 25 - October 13, 2024
Ronán Noone's THE SMUGGLER is a one-man thriller in rhyme. It's 2023. Tim Finnegan is an Irish immigrant trying to make it as a writer on Amity, an affluent summer colony in Massachusetts, where tensions flare between the migrant and local communities after a fatal car crash. When he loses his job as a bartender, Tim gets drawn into the dark underbelly of the island. THE SMUGGLER examines how far one man will go to restore his self-respect and asks the question, "What does it mean to be an American citizen today?"
"A gripping and poetic tour de force--storytelling at its finest." --CHICAGO TRIBUNE
