REDEEMED . . . is a chilling and surprising audio drama.
—Broadway World

  • LISTEN to Redeemed
  • ENJOY a delicious brunch
  • DISCUSS with playwright, Chisa Hutchinson and Producing Artistic Director, Peggy McKowen

Redeemed tells the fictional story of convicted murderer Trevor Barlow, who killed Claire Yaing’s brother nine years prior. He has written to Claire begging her to visit him in prison. When Claire arrives, Trevor claims he’s a changed man thanks to the help of her brother’s ghost. Claire must decide if Trevor is capable of redemption, or just attempting to impress the parole board.

The audio production of Redeemed was co-produced by the Contemporary American Theater Festival and Dorset Theatre Festival. The production was made possible, in part, by a generous gift to CATF from Mina Goodrich and Lawrence Dean.
