Long Way Down

Appropriate for 12 & up.

Sixty seconds. Seven floors. One elevator. Fifteen-year-old Will’s brother has just been shot, and Will is ready to follow “The Rules.” But on the ride down, with his brother’s gun in his pocket, his plan is interrupted by a few visitors.

D.C.-area native Jason Reynolds's New York Times best-selling book comes to the stage in a compelling and timely production. Told entirely in free-form poetry, Long Way Down captures the potent minute Will contemplates retaliation. As mysterious guests appear at each floor, Will realizes there might be a bigger story to be told. He knows who he’s after. Or does he?
