Written by Laura Eason, "The Undeniable Sound of Right Now" debuted in April 2015 at the off-Broadway Rattlestick Playwrights Theater in New York City, where it was hailed by the New York Times as "an affectionate but unsentimental portrait" of changing times and family stress. D.C. Metro Theater Arts said the play has "a heart that beats like a drum kit, and it packs a wallop like a subwoofer."
Set in 1992, the play focuses on Hank, longtime owner of a legendary Chicago bar that has launched the careers of many rock and alternative bands, as he struggles against the rise of DJs and house music. Caught in a seismic shift of pop culture and economic forces, Hank's resistance to change is complicated by strains in his relationship with his daughter Lena, as both try to determine the best path to survival in an evolving music industry.
"The Undeniable Sound of Right Now" includes adult situations and language.
