Third Floor: a play by Jason Hall
The single girl in apartment 12 seeks a quiet life, alone in her beautiful new lake view apartment. The boisterous guy in apartment 11 has other ideas. As the two forge an awkward friendship, relegated to their shared hallway, they navigate the perks and frustrations of apartment life. Suddenly, an unspeakable event threatens to uproot their fragile bond - and their lives. Brad Root and Abigail Ludrof share the stage in this clever homage to the films of Alfred Hitchcock, written by UK-based playwright Jason Hall & directed by Laura Pittenger. The perfect thriller, just in time for Halloween, this October at The Tank NYC.
