A Gruesome Subway Poster At Fort Hamilton Prompts Concern From Neighborhood Parent

A parent from the neighborhood reached out to us about this violent ad she spotted at the Fort Hamilton subway stop, noting that she was concerned about the impact it could have on children.

“It really shocked me because of its gruesome nature,” the neighbor wrote. “It’s disturbing because so many kids come through this stop and it seems really inappropriate for a subway ad.”

The poster, which depicts a man covered in blood, is an ad for the U.S. premiere of Sam Shepard’s “A Particle of Dread,” which the New York Times describes as “a dark, fragmented, modern-day take on Oedipus Rex.”

Have you seen the poster? What do you think about it?
