When a photographer betrays her closest friend by displaying an intimate, revealing photograph in a prestigious Chelsea gallery, the fallout spirals into a deadly web of infidelity and violence. The Slide Is the Negative is a thrilling and urgent exploration of art, consent and the price of privacy—asking whether wealth and power grant license to destroy lives without consequence.

Axial Theatre and JCS Theater Company in association with the Oberon Theatre Ensemble present the world premiere of Jake Shore's The Slide Is the Negative.
