Highlights
Synopsis
Hoping to find answers about her life, Dorry slips into the swamp to meet an uncle who was cut off from the family after a mysterious incident before she was born.
She delves into his sexual past and her family's hidden secrets to confront her future and universal questions about the nature of love, forgiveness, betrayal and the assumptions we make about other's suffering.
This is a heartbreakingly beautiful companion piece to Meridian, Mississippi Redux .
Published in Off Off Broadway Festival Plays, 24th Series .
Press Reviews
"Proud mothers seem to be boasting about the abilities of their sons, but after the arrival of a third women it becomes clear that all is not as it seems. Hutton's talents for dialogue and humor are apparent."
