Hostage

Hostage

Skylight Theatre
1816 1/2 N. Vermont Los Angeles

Based on true events. During the Iran hostage crisis and without permission from the US government, a mother travels from Wisconsin to Tehran in hopes of reuniting with her son, a marine held in captivity. Hostage imagines what happened in that room when mother and son were briefly reunited, and the consequences that the mother faced upon returning to the U.S. Suddenly, she became a suspect in her own country. Hostage is a play about patriotism, the political vs. the personal and the ferocity of a mother's love.
