Tiger By The Tail

Tiger By The Tail

Lonny Chapman Group Repertory Theatre
10900 Burbank Blvd. North Hollywood

Through a series of letters, a middle-aged therapist in California hits it off with a young Florida inmate after responding to his personal ad. In what sounds like something that began with a Best-of-Craigslist-worthy post, Tiger by the Tail tells the extraordinary story of their complicated, burgeoning relationship. Located on opposite sides of both the country and the penal system, the two men manage to arrange a meeting and a life together seems possible, but the harsh realities of prison life rise up against the couple. Tiger by the Tail makes its west coast premiere at the Lonny Chapman Theatre after winning Best Play during the 2005 Festival of New American Plays in Richmond and a full production in New York.
