Production shots are out for the New York premiere of Arlene Hutton's Blood of the Lamb, currently in previews Off-Broadway at 59E59 Theaters and set to officially open September 23. Margot Bordelon is directing, with performances to continue through October 20. Get a first look at the production in the gallery below.

Inspired by the 2022 Supreme Court ruling that overturned Roe v. Wade, the thriller is set in a Dallas airport, where a pregnant woman, Nessa, finds herself detained and up against an unexpected adversary: a court-appointed attorney assigned to represent Nessa's unborn child. Starring as Val is Kelly McAndrew, stepping in for the previously announced Johanna Day, who was forced to depart the production due to an injury. Meredith Garretson co-stars as Nessa. Casting is by Benton Whitley and Micah Johnson-Levy.

Initially commissioned and workshopped at California's B Street Theatre, the work has since had readings at New Jersey Repertory Company and The Barrow Group in New York City. Press notes share that dystopian, hypothetical laws initially dreamed up by Hutton for her play have since become reality.
