NEW YORK—“The truth is the truth and if you try to get around it, it will come after you and take you down.” This line, from Theresa Rebeck’s drama “Dig” proves to be quite accurate indeed. Presented by Primary Stages, the show can now been seen at 59E59 Theaters.
Fifty-something Roger (Jeffrey Bean) is a somewhat crotchety sort who likes things the way he likes things—which is also how he runs his Ohio plant store of the show’s title (only with a lowercase “d”). However, his well-ordered life is suddenly upended when 34-year-old Megan (Andrea Syglowski), a recovering alcoholic and ex-convict, returns to town in an attempt to rebuild her life after a failed suicide attempt.
