“I want awe. I feel like I need blood. All the time. And anything less than that makes me feel desperate. It makes me feel like I want to die.” A young writer challenges the status quo but discovers that creative gain comes at a personal cost. She wants to change the shape of the world. But a new way of thinking needs a new story.

This production of The Writer marks Steep Theatre’s first collaboration with playwright Ella Hickson and director Georgette Verdin in this searing exploration of power and the patriarchy.
