About
Cary Gitter’s 85-minute drama examines a son, his Holocaust-survivor father and the long shadow of inherited trauma.
The Steel Man turns a father-son conflict into a compact drama about identity, memory and the burden of an inherited past. Its first regular performance after two reduced-price previews makes this Thursday a timely point to see the Penguin Rep Theatre production early in its New York run.
