“GUT-TWISTING, BREATH-STEALING! BAKER OFFERS ONE-OF-A-KIND VIRTUOSO ACTING TALENTS!”– San Francisco Chronicle

Winner of two Tony Awards and the highest rating from the San Francisco Chronicle, Dana H. at Berkeley Rep is the only stage to currently experience this critically acclaimed production that took New York by storm.

This riveting, cutting-edge drama follows the powerful true story of Dana Higginbotham, a counselor in a psychiatric ward who was kidnapped by one of the patients and held captive in a series of Florida motel rooms for five months.Told in Dana's own courageous words and reconstructed for the stage by her son Lucas Hnath (A Doll’s House, Part 2; The Christians), and expertly directed by Les Waters, Dana H. shatters conventions of the art form and delivers a highly theatrical, deeply intimate exploration of good, evil, and – ultimately – of grace. Produced in association with Broadway producers Matt Ross, Sally Horchow, and Dori Berinstein.

“THE KIND OF PLAY YOU MAY NEVER FORGET! WATERS’ BONE-CHILLING PRODUCTION HAS THE POWER TO MAKE YOUR HEART POUND, LISTENING SO HARD YOU’RE ALMOST HOLDING YOUR BREATH! A SYMPHONIC PERFORMANCE FROM BAKER THAT SUCKS US IN. THE UNDERSTATED NATURE OF THIS PRODUCTION IS BREATHTAKING.”– Bay Area News Group
