About the Show

This naturalistic, family drama, autobiographical in detail, mixes elements of poetry and surrealism with a very real portrait of a troubled family and the demands of love.

Mary is divorced, estranged from her family and suffering with cancer. Her son Mike visits her during spring break. She asks him for concrete actions of moral support. Mike’s father and aunt caution him not to get involved. Old wounds re-open, and the bonds of family and love are rigorously tested.
