Direct from a sold-out showing in Brooklyn, Drama Desk Award winner Godlight Theatre Company returns to 59E59 Theaters with the New York premiere adaptation of Donn Pearce's searing novel, Cool Hand Luke, the hard-hitting story of a true original.
Beneath a scorching Florida sun, Boss Godfrey watches the chain gang and keeps his eye on Cool Hand Luke, a war hero, trouble-maker, and inspiration to his fellow inmates.

This powerful new stage adaptation by Emma Reeves is a raw, uncompromising tale of sticking it to "The Man."

Directed by JOE TANTALO
