Playwright's Forum Series: Apple Season
Theatre Lab’s Playwright’s Forum Series
Generously Sponsored by the René Friedman Distinguished Lecture Series Endowment
Twenty years ago, Lissie and Roger fled from their
family farm and made themselves disappear. But the
family secrets chase them still. A funeral, a surprising
offer and a question from an old friend send the two
siblings tumbling down a rabbit hole of memory and
grief, anger and violence, as they try to let go of a
tangled past that refuses to let go of them. This
reckoning is full of blood and fire. No one ever tells
you how hard it will be to break the silence.
