- Summary:
-
It's the anniversary of Vinnie's death. His brother, 17-year old Preston is being visited by spirits- seemingly tormenting him while he sleeps. His sister, Akira buries her pain in her phone. Their father, Eric, is in denial and their mother, Abigail, is numbing her pain with drink, while Nan is coping with it all by talking... a lot. There's no denying that Preston's on the cusp of something otherworldly. The family's disconnect from each other and the world has gone on long enough. It's time to purge the past to embrace the present, if they're to have a future, and an encounter with spirits might just be the catalyst they all need. Steven Oliver's deeply moving new play deep-dives into contemporary family politics and the connection between culture, grief and our humanity, with Oliver's signature aplomb.
