Shaker Arts Council Presents “The Bloodless Jungle” by Peter Lawson Jones

The world premiere staged reading begins at 2:00 pm followed by a talk back Q & A and reception. The play tells the story of Ethan St. John, a rising political star who is running for a pivotal seat in Congress. When - during the campaign - his best friend from high school is accused of a serious crime, St. John is faced with a daunting choice: does he abandon his friend and focus on winning the election, or risk jeopardizing the campaign by supporting his friend? The drama turns on the decision Ethan makes and its consequences.
