A two-week residency at the Flynn Center culminates in Hearts of Man, written by Burlington native Adriano Shaplin and performed by The Riot Group (four-time Edinburgh Fringe Fest winners). This bracing multi-character drama following the capture, indictment, and defense of a young man caught in an internet sex sting. A young attorney tackles an impossible case; online watchdogs pressure a world-weary prosecutor to convict; and a journalist sees his name in lights. Tangled up in red tape, these characters collide in "magnificent study of online paedophilia" (Philadelphia Weekly).
