A universal tale, THE POISONER is an unraveling of the deception, abuse of power, and utter negligence of early 2000’s Midwestern water politics. In a neo-noir thriller driven by a determined journalist who returns to his hometown and uncovers more than he bargained for, THE POISONER invites you to question, are we ever safe?

Directed by two-time Obie Award-winning Director and Choreographer Lee Sunday Evans and written by first-time playwright M.M. Haney, THE POISONER premiered at the historic La MaMa Experimental Theatre Club where performances included talkbacks with talented artists, fashion designers, photojournalists and community advocates who have contributed to democracy, water justice, and beauty in Flint and beyond.

THE POISONER is inspired by the Flint water crisis of 2014.
