Photos are now available of Downstate, Bruce Norris's provocative, award-winning 2018 play making a long-awaited Broadway debut at the Booth Theatre.

Downstate takes place at a group home for child sex offenders, kicking off when a man arrives to confront his former abuser after decades. Dark comedy and shocking drama blend from there as the play untangles the dynamic between the four roommates, the complex experience of the victim, and thorny questions about the nature of punishment, justice, truth, and the humanity of people who've done the unthinkable.

The Broadway cast of Downstate includes two acclaimed stars of its previous productions — K. Todd Freeman and Evening Standard Award nominee Francis Guinan — alongside Al'Jaleel McGhee, Adrian Martinez, The Bear Emmy winner Liza Colón-Zayas, Tony nominee Thomas Sadoski, Cassie Beck, and Ivy Wolk.
