Cut & Run, a gritty picaresque, follows Meesha, a willful Pakistani-immigrant, who runs away from her hapless husband in Staten Island. As she fights for survival in the harsh underworld of Manhattan, Meesha confronts the depths of her own resourcefulness in a dangerous cityscape.
This production contains strong language, adult themes, and theatrical haze.
