World Premiere

Kieran?s video poker bar opens early, and the regulars start pouring in. Looking for a drink or a little gambling, they invariably end up finding a healthy dose of existentialism and, with some luck, themselves.

There?s Marty, who?s lost her child in a custody dispute and now tries to rebuild her life anew; James and Reagan who are in love with each other and with gambling; and certainly lucky Turner and odd-man-out Paul. Above all there?s the mysterious Michelle, whose story may shed a whole new light on the lives of the others, once revealed.

Bryan Wizemann brings his acclaimed New York play to the screen in a stunning array of drama and performances worthy of Eugene O?Neill. Taking place in real time and restrained spaces, Losing Ground brings you so close to the characters that their troubles and victories resonate all the more powerfully with audiences. With sobering patience and insight, Wizemann?s story examines the lives of characters rendered complex and all too human.
