LURED, a brutal and honest depiction of gay persecution in Russia. Following its New York run, the play will head to Europe where it was accepted into the Onstage! American Theater Festival in Rome, Italy, with performances there on January 25th & 26th 2019.
Based on factual accounts and events, Lured focuses on one particular Russian hate group’s attack on a young gay man and the repercussions that follow, when his loved ones decide to take action. The play depicts how these vigilantes lure and entrap LGBTQ people, humiliating and torturing them on camera. Lured wonders if hate is inherent or taught and whether revenge is ever the answer.
