GIDION'S KNOT

by Johnna Adams

Directed by Daniel J. Betzler

 

About the Production

GIDION'S KNOT is presented by special arrangement with Broadway Licensing, LLC, servicing the Dramatists Play Service collection. 

Over the course of a parent/teacher conference, a grieving mother and an emotionally overwhelmed primary school teacher have a fraught conversation about the tragic suicide of the mother’s son, Gidion. Gidion may have been bullied severely—or he may have been an abuser. As his story is slowly uncovered, the women try to reconstruct a satisfying explanation for Gidion’s act and come to terms with excruciating feelings of culpability.
