According to 59E59 Theaters, Dulack’s blistering political thriller “imagines a world where the first black African Pope is in the Vatican, and the first third party President in American History is in the White House. When suicide bombers strike Manhattan’s St. Patrick’s Cathedral and a train station in Miami, the US is sent in a tailspin. With American under attack and a full-scale civil war raging in Syria, the President must act. Will the Pope intervene?”
Performances continue through March 1.
The Road to Damascus is produced by The Directors Company and part of 59E59’s inaugural 5A Season.
