Ex-NFL pro Eason no ‘Runt’ in one man show

A father’s expectations. A son’s dream. A brother’s rivalry. Bo Eason’s powerful solo play, soon to be a major motion picture, chronicles volatile family dynamics as well as triumph despite great odds. His brother, Tony, was the quarterback who led the New England Patriots to a Superbowl victory in ’86, but Bo was always considered too small to play football. The former Houston Oiler Eason developed—then never deviated from—a 20-year-plan to go pro. Runt of the Litter is a semiautobiographical account of Eason’s life and career as a defensive back for the Oilers. Whether you’re a fan of theater, sports or both, you’re sure to enjoy this powerful show. Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Manship Theatre. Tickets are $30-$40.
