Stanley Birnbaum, 25-year-old wunderkind lawyer, has a bewildering new client: a bright young man from the suburbs who’s confessed to a senseless murder. As Stanley is drawn deeper into his troubled client’s life, everything he believes about his place in the world is thrown into doubt. And his own life—enviable, seemingly perfect—starts to fracture…
The Innocents is a sexy, darkly funny exploration of youth, ambition, and desire. A hit at the 2010 SummerWorks Theatre Festival in Toronto, it has since had successful showings off-Broadway and at the Staatstheater Mainz in Germany, where it continues to run in repertory.
