Synopsis

A moving, mysterious, at times hilarious story of a tiny plot of land and some people with grand and incompatible designs on it.

Press Reviews

"A meditation on life, death, and love… it tackles elements of existentialism, environmentalism, and moral complexities beneath the guise of its humor"
— Yale Daily News

"Eno’s latest energizing, sardonic, deadpan and hilarious examination of crass human behavior and shattered dreams."
— The Hartford Courant

"An exciting new play by one of the country’s foremost contemporary playwrights… Eno’s play may be about aging and our treatment of the elderly, but it is also a serious comedy about death."
— Connecticut Critics Circle

"A satiric look on how Americans value property as a sign of success, on the ongoing battle between the haves and the have-nots, and the failure to appreciate the sense of history that permeates the landscape around us."
— BroadwayWorld
