Redeemed spins a story over the course of two prison visitations between Claire Yiang, a woman whose brother was murdered nine years ago, and Trevor Barlow, the murderer. Having sent Claire a letter begging for a visit, Trevor tries to prove he’s now 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.

Reviews

"The combination of supernatural suggestions, well-elucidated social commentary, and thought-provoking humor makes Redeemed a must-see play." – DC Theater Arts

"Any time spent with Chisa Hutchinson's characters leaves you changed, thoughtful – and, she hopes, more empathetic and aware. Redeemed certainly accomplishes that, and then some." – BroadwayWorld

"Highly charged tête-à-tête"
"Redeemed will undoubtedly leave you asking tough questions."
"If you're looking for theater that will challenge and provoke, Hutchinson's play fits the bill effectively, even electrifyingly." – Theatermania

"The actors' intensity and the fluid direction by marcus d. harvey keep the pace flowing."
"Two compelling performances. The engagement between the characters comes to feel painfully real." – Blog Critics

"Tension-filled, thought-provoking two-hander"
"Sensitively detailed performances keep the audience both involved and slightly unsure until an ending that will surely provoke many a discussion on the way home from the theater." – Thinking Theater NYC
