About Dana H.

New York Magazine proclaims Dana H. is “unmissable. It’s the smash of the season.” This New York Times Critic’s Pick tells the true story of Dana Higginbotham, a woman who was held hostage for five months in a series of Florida motels. Her son, playwright Lucas Hnath, turned her harrowing and courageous words into this riveting new play. Deirdre O'Connell brings Dana's real words to life on stage in "a singular, richly nuanced performance" (The Daily Beast). Don't miss "the best play on Broadway" (The Wrap) now at the Lyceum Theatre thru November 28 only.
