Swing State
Details
A prairie conservationist widow
Her ex-convict neighbor
The grief ridden sheriff
Her indefinite officer niece
How will they live together?
It’s hard to know who your friends are in a world that’s more divided than ever.
Recently widowed, Peg tends to the native plants in her 40-acre rural Wisconsin prairie backyard, her solitary days interrupted only by visits from a family friend with a checkered past. When a mysterious theft alerts the authorities, a string of events unfold that forever changes their lives.
Swing State by Pulitzer Prize finalist Rebecca Gilman will be Harbinger’s 18th Capital Region premiere. We believe it will also be the Capital Region premiere of Gilman which is amazing because she has been one of the most esteemed playwrights in Chicago for 30 years.
