Bug makes its Broadway debut at the Samuel J. Friedman Theatre, directed by Tony Award winner David Cromer and written by Pulitzer Prize and Tony winner Tracy Letts (August: Osage County). Starring Carrie Coon and Namir Smallwood, this Steppenwolf Theatre Company production is a psychological thriller set in a rundown Oklahoma motel. The play dives into paranoia, conspiracy, and the fragile line between love and delusion.
Storyline
In a dingy Oklahoma motel room, a lonely waitress named Agnes forms an unexpected bond with a mysterious drifter, Peter. What starts as a tender connection quickly spirals into a web of paranoia, conspiracy theories, and psychological unraveling. As the boundaries between reality and delusion blur, Agnes and Peter find themselves drawn into a dangerous world where nothing is as it seems. Will they escape the grip of their fears, or will the bugs take over?
