The Cohen New Works Festival Presents Daniel/Rose

An examination of neurodiversity through the lives of Arthur Miller’s son, Daniel, who was born with Down Syndrome and subsequently institutionalized, and Tennessee Williams’ sister, Rose, who was diagnosed as schizophrenic and later lobotomized. When society stigmatizes an individual, how should their family respond? Daniel/Rose is presented as part of the Cohen New Works Festival. The Festival, produced by The University of Texas at Austin Department of Theatre and Dance and sponsored by Broadway Bank, premieres 38 new student-made projects April 10-14, 2017.
