Rules of Seconds

by Patrick Pizzolorusso

The Los Angeles Theatre Centere

Set in 1855 Boston, where the slightest infraction between gentlemen is grounds for a challenge to be resolved with pistols. When Nathaniel “Wings” Leeds is challenged to a duel by the most dangerous man in the city, he asks his estranged brother to be his second. Deep family tensions and old rivalries resurface as the brothers struggle to follow the hundreds-years-old “Code of Dueling.”
