A felon. An addict. A writer. Three estranged brothers reunite to settle unfinished business in the world premiere of a darkly funny new drama about the meaning of family by Gary Lennon (The Interlopers). Saverio Guerra (CBS’s Becker), Johnny Messner (Tears of the Sun, Hostage, The Whole Ten Yards) and Sean Wing (American Idiot on Broadway, the title role in Bunbury at the Road Theatre) star as three brothers raised in New York’s rough and tumble Hell’s Kitchen. A Family Thing is a violent, comic and heartbreaking exploration of the way family binds us together—and can tear us apart.
