On Clover Road

by Steven Dietz

At an abandoned motel on a desolate American road, a mother meets with a cult deprogrammer, believing she will be reunited with her runaway daughter. What happens instead – in this smart, harrowing, edge-of-your-seat thriller – is something that will shock her to her core. What will a mother do to get her daughter back? Whatever it takes.

    An absolute thrill-ride from start to finish. I saw it at CATF and it has stayed with me. We need more edge-of-your-seat plays like this!

    Is there light at the end of the tunnel? Well this tunnel is indeed dark and twisty, the turns are sometimes sharp, the humor deliciously dark, the characters richly complex. It's a thriller with psychological depth, and even heart - the ending both disturbing and moving. I had the pleasure of directing the East Coast Premiere of this play and it was one of this season's most talked about productions. I recommend your theatre take this tunnel ride and see for yourself. Michael Edan Director Elmwood Playhouse
