Must is set in the New Mexican desert on the night before Billy the Kid's murder. “As he reflects on the relationships that have informed his life, he conjures his mother, his lover, Sheriff Pat Garrett and the man he thinks might be his father,” according to press notes. “Through memories, visions and feverish dreams, he confronts each of them. As he gains real insight into their lives and struggles, he discovers how he went from being a normal kid in New York City to being the notorious gunfighter Billy The Kid.”
“I’m quite excited to get behind Cissel’s new play Must,” said Willis in a statement. “It looks at Billy the Kid through a unique eye. It’s a character study, with the exhilarating landscape of New Mexico as a backdrop.”
The production will feature scenic design by Alexander Woodward, lighting design by Zach Blane, costume design by Brooke Cohen Brown, and sound design by Emma Wilk. Casting is by Chad Eric Murnane, CSA.
