Hedge

Inner Mission SF
2050 Bryant Street San Francisco

Boundaries, both of shrubbery and more substantial stuff, protect, challenge and frustrate the characters of Hedge, Robin Lynn Rodriguez's incendiary new play. The housing market collapse has left four friends surrounded by foreclosures in their Oakland neighborhood. When a shocking act of violence forces them out of their bungalows and into the street, they find themselves in a scenario for which no one is prepared. Funny and fierce, Hedge examines the costs of gentrification and tries to answer the question of who ultimately takes responsibility for a neighborhood. Winner of Theater MadCap's annual play development reading series, Hedge now comes to Inner Mission SF as the company's second full-fledged stage production.
