A 21st-century Les Miserablés, The Surgeon and Her Daughters is an epic and intimate play about family, grief, and how we stay afloat amidst seemingly insurmountable odds. Diving unflinchingly into the ‘melting pot’ that is New York City, the play explores the slipperiness of truth and justice; the thorniness of honor and redemption, and the sensation of being a crab at the bottom of the barrel.
Colt Coeur is a Brooklyn-based theatre company of innovative theater artists committed to creating bold, unabashedly entertaining work that explores themes of coming-of-age, of individual and collective identity, of nostalgia and history, of public versus private, of love, lust, and loss.
