Play Your* Part Seattle: The Originals
The Originals – A World Premiere Play by Brandon Force tells the story of three prep-school boys who are accused of plagiarism, having turned in identical essays word for word, semicolon for semicolon. Two upperclassmen are assigned the task of sussing out the truth, leading all five to decide for themselves what is more valuable – the truth or the schoolboy code of honor.
