Oh boy, do we ever have exciting news for you!

Squeaky Bicycle, in residence with Theater for the New City, is thrilled to announce the world premiere of resident playwright W.M. Akers’ new dystopian dark comedy: Dead Man’s Dinner.

You got a preview last year at our Reading Lab, and now you get to see it in all its gritty glory. This is one you definitely do not want to miss!

Dead Man’s Dinner by W.M. Akers

After ten years of siege, three women are trapped in the middle of the most dangerous war zone in the world: the Upper West Side. In a frigid rent-stabilized apartment, Olympia and her daughter Petra have spent years surviving any way they can. When Petra falls in love with Jackie, an injured soldier, their food supplies are stretched to the limit. As death creeps closer, each woman will be torn between love and hunger—and hunger always wins.
