Into the Dark is a new, exciting culmination point of Sharpe's long career and a timely presentation that responds to war, the climate crisis, and the decline of truth.

Supported by a robust public program, including curated talks, workshops, and live performances, new commissions are made possible by The Lock-Up's Patrons Program.
