A New Play from Samuel D. Hunter
Coming to New York City's Lincoln Center Theater this November is a new play, Greater Clements written by young, Idaho born playwright Samuel D. Hunter. The play is set in the writer's home state and focuses on the gentrification of a mining town that long-time residents are being priced out of. We follow the story of protagonist Maggie as she grapples with the opportunity to escape the changing town forever.
Greater Clements is directed by Davis McCallum. Playwright Samuel D. Hunter is best known for his plays 'A Bright New Boise', first performed in 2010 and 'The Whale' in 2012. He has received an Obie Award, a Drama Desk Special Award, a Lucille Lortel Award and many more.

The direction is seamless, the scenic design is inventive and serves the play superbly, but most of all, the actors, one and all, make one understand why anyone would go into this difficult profession.
