A haunting new play about loss and missed connections by the award-winning playwright of Mr. Burns. “Ms. Washburn is a writer of questing imagination and convention-bending technique.” —Ben Brantley, New York Times In Anne Washburn’s captivating new drama, a group of old friends—who, now in middle age, have mostly lost touch over the years—reunite at a remote Texas estate for the funeral of one of their own. As the former friends confront the memories of their shared past, the walls quickly dissolve (literally and figuratively) into a realm bordering on supernatural. A haunting tale of loss and friendship, Washburn seamlessly blurs the lines between the real and surreal, inviting us into a world of humor, imagination and mystery.
