ABOUT THE SHOW
Based on the true story of Katherine Ann Power and Clare Schroeder, in Deborah Salem Smith and Charlie Thurston's "THE GETAWAY DRIVER," this gripping new drama follows two women bound by a single, life-altering moment.
A Rolling World Premiere with Trinity Rep and Northern Stage!
It’s 1970.
College student Power joins an activist group to protest the war.
When their resistance turns deadly, Schroeder must grow up in the shadow of her father’s murder while Power disappears and spends decades on the FBI’s Most Wanted List.
Years later, when Power resurfaces seeking redemption, she must confront Schroeder and the past that shaped their lives.
Unfolding like a true crime thriller, this remarkable story asks:
How far is too far in the fight to do what’s right?
