The Tutor

By Allan Havis

This stark, disquieting drama depicts the eleventh-hour effort of a hired tutor to transform the life of a very bright, self-destructive teenager before a Columbine tragedy occurs in San Diego. "... the disquieting drama visits a shockingly dysfunctional family and its truly troubled teen ... The tables turn several times in this intense, suspenseful one-act ... Especially intriguing is the fact that we never quite know at the end what really happened, or what will happen next. Is the kid really a Bad Seed? Did this amoral adolescent, under the tutor's tutelage, actually develop a conscience and a sense of remorse by the end? Will the tutor live? Havis isn't telling. I love this play. The writing is terrific, smart and slick, scary and inscrutable all at once ... The play is superb ..." -Pat Launer, Center Stage, Jazz 88.3FM (San Diego)
