Synopsis

“…In returning to a familiar theme, the wandering away from and abandonment of small town America to seek fortune and enlightenment, Myatt scores by unusually and effectively staying with those who have been left behind rather than with the one who has left.

The result is a beautifully written reflection on time and place, and the inconstancy of love and loss.… The play follows the investigations of a private detective hired by a couple to find their grown son.

As he interviews assorted friends and a mysterious stranger, he finds that nothing is quite what it seems.

And in the process, as so often happens to theatrical detectives, he experiences a significant transformation.

With few exceptions, each of the roles is carefully written, and several of the characters are vividly and imaginatively conceived.…”Laurence Vittes, A P
