Synopsis

The lakeside rental Veronica has managed to afford is a far cry from the idyllic getaway she and her children so desperately need.

The disheveled property owner, Hogan, has problems of his own – problems that Veronica is inevitably and irrevocably pulled into.

An engrossing and revealing portrait of two strangers bound together by circumstance, Lost Lake is a vivid play about the struggle for connection in an imperfect world.

Press Reviews

"[David Auburn] knows how to parcel out surprising revelations by the teaspoon…Auburn’s shrewdness and craft [give] the story a poignant, painful core.” – The New Yorker“A considerable amount of compassion has gone into parallel character studies of the owner of the cabin and a potential renter…Hogan may be a beaten-down wreck, but Auburn has a grave affection for the character, gifting him with the kind of shrewd native intelligence that city folk tend to underestimate in their country cousins.” – Variety“Lost Lake is a reminder that people can surprise you and that solace comes in small, unexpected acts of compassion."
