A Permanent Image

A Permanent Image
by Samuel D. Hunter

Called a fusion between realism and the absurd, A Permanent Image is a tense exploration of the distance families put between themselves and what it takes to bring them back together.

Samuel D. Hunter is an American playwright best known for plays A Bright New Boise, which won the 2011 Obie Award for playwriting, and The Whale, which won the 2013 Drama Desk Award and the 2013 Lucille Lortel Award for Outstanding Play.
