About the Show

The death of a teenage boy 20 years ago is center in this domestic drama of loss and suspicion.

As the mysteries of the past collide with the present, the fragile facade of their lives threatens to crumble, leaving them to confront the unsettling reality that truth, however long buried, has a way of resurfacing when least expected.

In the shadows of a decaying mansion in Fort Worth, Texas, lies a tale of profound loss and simmering suspicion. The tragic death of a teenage boy two decades past serves as the focal point in this domestic drama, where three women grapple with the weight of unanswered questions and hidden truths.

Quirky, Intense, Slow, Great staging, Great acting

See it if you like watching characters interacting in strained relationships where long time haunting of loss affects each of them in different ways.

Don't see it if you seek a lot of action - this is a lot of talk among four characters to let you know their present and past lives. mostly unhappy. Read more

Emotional, Old fashioned family drama, Secretive, Moody, Haunting

See it if "old fashioned" stylistically in storytelling & dramatic action with slow development of crisis & quiet discussion & intimate scenes U like

Don't see it if U need wham bam movement & emotional outburst 2 satisfy your own dramatic needs, U need no mentions of Vietnam, suicide, murder or gays

Strong sets lights and sound, Solid acting, Slow, Quirky, Intense

See it if Solid acting and theatre tech ... a rural household of repressed older women and the stranger who unleashes them.

Don't see it if The actors delivered the contrived climax and the odd plot twists and the cliches about rural life with commitment. I was never bored.

Indulgent, Slow, Excruciating, Disappointing, Confusing

See it if You like to support small scale theater done on more or less semi-professional level.

Don't see it if You want to see a solidly written and acted production as this is neither. Not very interesting except for the last say 15 minutes or so.
