The play had its American premiere at Profiles Theatre in Chicago, Illinois in April 2012 through 3 June.[2] The production stars Darrell W. Cox and Natasha Lowe and was directed by Joe Jahraus.[3]The Chicago Tribune reviewer wrote:"Interesting and formatively atypical, it strikes me as very much a meditation on what is and is not true, on the ease of rushing to misjudgment, and also a further manifestation of the longstanding authorial fascination with the close link between deep intimacy and dark violence."[4]

This production was followed by a Contemporary American Theater Festival (Shepherdstown, West Virginia) production as part of the 2012 Festival from 6 to 29 July 2012.[5][6]
