Featuring Amanda Collins, Will McGarrahan and Jimi Stanton and directed by Eric Engel.

This timely and dazzling new play by the founder of Boston Shakespeare Company stunned the San Francisco Bay Area, and played to sold-out houses in its world premiere last October.

A psychological thriller based on actual events, 9 Circles tells the story of a young American soldier on trial for his life.

Daniel Reeves is arrested for a crime allegedly committed in Iraq. Desperate to remain a soldier, he is forced to navigate a labyrinth of commanding officers, public defenders, lawyers, preachers and military psychiatrists.

In language by turns shocking, mesmerizing and bitingly funny, 9 Circles speaks directly to a nation still at war, asking penetrating questions about the nature and consequence of all war and what it means to be human.
