A SAMUEL FRENCH, INC. TITLE
Full-Length Play, Dark Comedy / 1w, 4m
Eliza Clark
It’s just another morning at the suburban burger joint where Ruckus, Marco and Emma smoke up, talk smack, and – oh yeah – work. However, when a bloodied stranger staggers in, the three teens are forced to choose sides in the grueling war advancing just outside the door.
Work sucks, especially in the middle of a war zone. It’s just another Saturday flipping burgers for three suburban teens, but when bombs start dropping and a bloodied stranger staggers in, these kids deal with the unknown the only way they know how – by tying it up. It’s World War III at your local burger joint. Eliza Clark’s terrifying dark comedy builds suspense, rattles audiences and poses questions about humanity in crisis.
Edgewise had its world premiere at Walkerspace on 9 November 2010 in New York City. The production was produced by Page 73 Productions and The Play Company.

“The emotional, visceral impact of the piece as it builds and builds, and just never stops building…is incredibly powerful, and extremely disturbing.” – NYTheatre
“Playwright Clark... has an ear for realistic dialogue and unspools her soliloquies with lovely skill.” – Associated Press“An exciting new voice in the theater...Illuminating and moving...We can look forward with eager anticipation to Clark’s future work.“ –Theatre is Easy
“A scary and thrilling 90 minutes. It’s all the more frightening because of the ordinariness of the environment. Explosions and scenes of torture are interspersed with complaints about curfew and comparisons of cars...Clark, who writes for the AMC conspiracy-theory series Rubicon, has constructed a taut document on how easy it is to lose your humanity when your safety is threatened.” – Backstage“Anytime a new playwright comes along with a knack for creating dramatic situations and ratcheting up tension to nerve-shredding levels, it’s cause for celebration.” – Lighting and Sound America
