It’s the Bronx. It’s a Monday night, and it’s time to make a change.  John Patrick Shanley’s Savage In Limbo is an explosively touching comedy about a group of desperate 32 year old former class mates, tirelessly caught in the limbo of their unexceptional lives.

In the seedy surrounds of ‘Scales’ bar, the five lonely souls search deep within themselves and look to each other in a frantic bid to connect to a world that is beyond the restriction of their own shackles. They might not know where they’re going, but they’ve all got their determination.

Q44 is proud to present their first production by playwright and screenwriter John Patrick Shanley (Doubt, Danny And The Deep Blue Sea, Moonstruck). Q44 is named in tribute to Shanley’s observations of life as he rode the Q44 bus from the Bronx to Queens and this production will showcase his work in all of its combustible glory.
