CRITIC’S PICK:
Wed., Oct. 8 – Sun., Nov. 9
Covenant, Alliance Theatre —Young Avery is desperate to flee her small town in rural Georgia. Childhood pal Johnny ‘Honeycomb’ James returns home having succeeded as a blues guitarist but may have made a pact with the devil to achieve stardom. Sounds familiar? The pair runs off together and things quickly go pear-shaped. York Walker’s play premiered with the Roundabout Theatre Company in October, 2023, and was named a ‘New York Times’ Critic’s Pick; the paper called it “A striking Southern Gothic work” while the ‘New York Sun’ said it was “Briskly entertaining food for thought about the demons that haunt us all.” — Kevin C. Madigan

Described as “a striking Southern Gothic work” (The New York Times), COVENANT is a haunting new play that pushes the boundaries between myth and reality. Avery is desperate for a way out of her small Georgia town. When her childhood friend Johnny returns after making a name for himself as a blues star, Avery may have found her chance. But Johnny’s sudden fame leads to gossip that he made a deal with the devil to attain his newfound musical genius, and before long it becomes clear that he’s not the only one in town with a secret. A suspense-filled thriller that delivers one devilish twist after another, COVENANT explores the gripping power of belief and the thin veil between rumor and truth.
