American Theatre of London and ADAMA Entertainment present DOWN THE ROADBy Lee Blessing, Directed by Tracy MathewsonPartnered with CrimeCon UK “It would be simply impossible to imagine contemporary American theater without Lee Blessing.” —Philip Zwerling “Blessing has a penchant (and a skill) for probing his chosen issues with intelligence and respect for their complexity, his dramatic style is clear and simple.” —Variety. EVENT DETAILSTue 4 Mar - Sat 29 Mar 2025 A true-blue journalist couple is hired to interview Bill Reach, a young, sadistic serial killer, for his tell-all book. With dreams of starting their own family and hopes of this being their big break, Iris and Dan are drawn closer into Reach's chilling yet alluring orbit and unwittingly take their work home with them. When grisly tales captivate and shock value sells, how will Dan and Iris navigate the fine line between journalistic integrity and glorifying the actions of Bill Reach? Tracy Mathewson directs  Down the Road  in a modern-day revival of Lee Blessing’s 1991 play that originally set Dan and Iris' journey amidst the public’s then-fresh fascination with serial killers. Today, though, when the world of true crime saturates pop culture, podcasts, and television, the public's appetite for serial killer psychology is no longer salacious… it's ordinary. Mathewson sets this morality play from the 90s firmly in the 21st century to see just how far our dark enchantment with true crime goes. This gripping psychological thriller explores the complex intersection of true crime, ethics, and the allure of killers in our culture.
