“This is a moving piece of work, and you don’t have to be a sports fan to be moved.” -The Front Row Center.com
Retired NFL player Don Devers experiences both jocular and violent outbursts as a result of his struggles with traumatic brain injury. While relying on Post-it notes to get him through the day, Ed Ryan, a desperate longtime fan, shows up on his doorstep. Thus begins a new-found game with Don’s pregnant daughter Stephanie, and Ed’s pregnant wife Sarah, plotting from the sidelines. The hero, the fan, and the expectant mothers discover new ways to help each other and create a new family of sorts. An emotional rollercoaster, the play is as moody, funny and unpredictable as its football star. Halftime with Don was an audience favorite during TPT’s In The Works reading series and will be directed by Bill Simmons.
Halftime with Don contains strong language and mature themes.
