about Is This A Room

FINAL WEEKS! MUST END NOVEMBER 27.

Hailed by The New York Times as “one of the thrillingest thrillers ever to hit Broadway,” this Critic’s Pick takes place on June 3, 2017, when former Air Force intelligence specialist Reality Winner was surprised at her home by the FBI. Every word, cough, and breath you hear on stage is taken straight from their actual conversation.

“A daring and pulse-prickling” (Variety) theatrical thriller, IS THIS A ROOM stars Emily Davis as Winner in a “sensational, career-making performance” (Deadline).

Don't miss this "scintillating, gut-grabbing 70-minute production" (The Washington Post), on Broadway thru November 27 only.
