by Henry Smith directed by Ethan Walker 1950s America. Peak McCarthyism. The national ideology is that it's better dead than red. As fearmongering, spying, insinuation and retaliation abound, the country appears to have moved from one war to another. Brooks and Carter are two FBI detectives at the heart of it all. They have a routine: bring in a communist, convict him, get coffee. But what if the case is personal? What if there's communists a little too close to home? Henry Smiths Viita Prize winning play receives its world premiere in the Milton Studio.
