Roundabout celebrated the opening of Selina Fillinger's Something Clean in its Underground space May 29. Through the eyes of a wife and mother (played by Law & Order's Kathryn Erbe), the new play examines the aftermath of a sex crime—the guilt, the grief, and the ways we grapple with the unthinkable.
Margot Bordelon directs the world premiere, with a cast made up of Erbe (Oz), Daniel Jenkins (Oslo, Billy Elliot), and Christopher Livingston (Wilder Gone, Party People).
