Runt of the Litter
“One of the most powerful plays about sports
in the last decade.” – The New York Times
From professional athlete to successful stage and screen actor, Bo Eason’s career has followed an extraordinary path. Initially told he was too small to play football, Eason stuck to his 20-year plan, and his determination and effort led to a successful collegiate and professional career as safety with the NFL’s Houston Oilers. His powerful solo play Runt of the Litter, written and performed by Eason and directed by Larry Moss (The Syringa Tree), is soon to be a major motion picture. It tells a compelling story, based on Eason’s life, of family dynamics and success against great odds.
“Runt of the Litter is not only the best one-person show I’ve ever seen, it’s also that rare theatrical experience that leaves the audience wanting to see it again and bring all their friends along,” proclaims Nytheatre.com. The New York Times compares the production to “Death of a Salesman with Biff and Happy played by Cain and Abel,” and the Newark Star-Ledger raves “Thoughtful, ferocious and riveting! Eason’s play grabs your interest as human drama and never lets go.”
