Balm in Gilead

Written by Lanford Wilson

“Rumor has it playwright Lanford Wilson sat in a gritty all-night diner on the Upper West Side of mid-1960’s Manhattan – and just wrote down what he heard. The result is Balm in Gilead, one of the first plays of the Off-Off Broadway movement. The play creates a world of lost souls: pushers and junkies, hustlers and whores – social outcasts struggling delicately and brutally on the edge of poverty.”

–Phil Soltanoff, Director
