Superheroes

The sordid history of the crack-cocaine epidemic is revealed in the incendiary new play Superheroes from The Cutting Ball Theater. Partially inspired by Gary Webb's groundbreaking investigative journalism into the relationship between the CIA and Nicaraguan drug traffickers, Superheroes follows a journalist unraveling a tangled web of fact and fiction surrounding the epidemic. The drama traces a lyrical labyrinth through churches, courthouses and street corners in pursuit of the shocking truth. Written and Directed by Sean San José, Superheroes was developed as part of Risk Is This, The Cutting Ball's festival of experimental plays.
