Rules of Seconds at The Los Angeles Theatre Center

Honor! Madness! Blood! Amy Brenneman (The Leftovers, Judging Amy), Jamie Harris (AMC's Turn, Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D.) and Josh Helman (X-Men:Apocalypse, Mad Max:Fury Road) head the cast of an edgy, intense and darkly comic new play by John Pollono (Small Engine Repair), directed by Obie Award-winner Jo Bonney. Set in 1855 Boston, where the slightest infraction between gentlemen is grounds for a challenge to be resolved with pistols, Rules of Seconds marks the inaugural production of The Temblors, the Latino Theater Company's new collective of LA-based playwrights at The Los Angeles Theatre Center. When Nathaniel "Wings" Leeds is challenged to a duel by the most dangerous man in the city, he asks his estranged brother to be his second. Deep family tensions and old rivalries resurface as the brothers struggle to follow the hundreds-years-old "Code of Dueling."
