The poignant and sensitive comedy, written by Tom Griffin, tells the story of four mentally challenged men who live in a group home in New England and their social worker, Jack, who is getting burned out on both his job, and life in general.
Among Jack’s charges are Lucien P. Smith and Norman Bulansky, who are both mentally challenged; Barry Klemper, a brilliant schizophrenic who fantasizes that he is a golf pro, and Arnold Wiggins — the ringleader — a hyperactive, compulsive talker who suffers from deep-seated insecurities and a persecution complex..

I've just been cast in the Lead Role of Guy Haines in Metro Theatres Dramatic and Stylized Psychological Thriller, STRANGERS ON A TRAIN by Craig Warner.
Directed by Paul Kloegman
Based on the novel by Patricia Highsmith
Patricia Highsmith electrified the reading public in 1950 with her sensational first novel Strangers on a Train. It immediately catapulted her into a prolific career of psychological thrillers, including the sensational THE TALENTED MR. RIPLEY Starring Matt Damon.
The novel was the inspiration for Alfred Hitchcock's classic 1951 psychological thriller. However 1950's censorship prevented Hitchcock from telling the whole story. Craig Warner's brilliantly theatrical new adaptation tells it all!
Guy Haines and Charles Bruno meet on a train. Guy is a successful architect, in the midst of a messy divorce. Bruno is a charming but spoilt mother's boy, obsessed with resentment against his father. To Guy's initial bemusement, Bruno suggests swapping murders. But, as Bruno begins to carry out his twisted plan, Guy finds himself trapped in a nightmare of deception within Highsmith's perilous world where, under the right circumstances, anybody is capable of murder.
