THINGS COPS KNOW
by Bill Mesce, Jr.
Based on Adam Plantinga’s
acclaimed 2014 non-fiction book,
400 THINGS COPS KNOW: STREET-SMART LESSONS FROM A VETERAN PATROLMAN,
the play looks at the world through a cop’s weary eyes—the audience must decide if it offers any insight into how and why headline-caliber tragedies occur so often on our streets.
THINGS COPS KNOW
is the first presentation
of the fall series.
