Downstate
In downstate Illinois, four men convicted of sex crimes against minors share a group home where they live out their lives in the shadow of the offenses they committed. A man shows up to confront his childhood abuser--but does he want closure or retribution?
Bruce Norris's new play Downstate zeroes in on the limits of our compassion and what happens when society deems anyone beyond forgiveness.

Praise for this book
"A great, squirmy moral-thrill-ride of a play by Bruce Norris...in some ways his most serious, successful and difficult work." - The New York Times
