Lonesome Hollow, a world premier by Lee Blessing, is a sober look into a “soonish” future where sex offenders are quarantined in mysterious penal colonies. Two men - one sacred, one profane – struggle to understand the new rules of crime and punishment under a government given extreme powers of authority. A cautionary tale of vengeance and community standards, Lee Blessing’s drama charts a characteristically slippery moral slope.

Lee Blessing's world premieres at the Contemporary American Theater Festival include Whores and Flag Day. Blessing’s plays, performed worldwide, have been nominated for the Pulitzer Prize and Tony and Olivier Awards and have earned Steinberg/American Theater Critics Association, Obie, Outer Critics Circle, Drama Desk, L.A. Critics Association and Drama-Logue Awards among others. His TNT movie “Cooperstown,” won a Humanitas Award. A New York resident, Blessing has for several years headed the Graduate Playwriting Program at Mason Gross School of the Arts, Rutgers University.
