The Riot Group wraps up a two-week Flynn residency with a work-in-progress performance of Hearts of Man. Co-commissioned by
the Flynn and Swarthmore College, this bracing new five-act drama
features the full Riot Group ensemble joined by members of Neo-Futurists and the T.E.A.M. in a modern-day New Jersey tragedy in blank
verse. As a young female attorney defends a man caught in a televised
sex sting, Internet watchdogs and local police pressure a world-weary
prosecutor to convict. Tangled up in red-tape and moral vertigo, the two
sides collide in a boilerplate courtroom drama where constitutional law
meets the “Male Circumcision Defense” in an effort to uncover what
lies in the hearts of men, compelling both sides to make, and unmake,
the modern sexual predator. “The Riot Group have a gift for tense,
language-driven theater,” praises the New York Times.
