Set in a fog-covered corner of Northern California, this world-premiere play follows an intentional community striving to live self-sufficiently while sheltering from a turbulent outside world. When an unexpected death unsettles the group, their ideals and sense of independence are put under strain. The story weaves together themes of grief, ritual, and resilience, with elements ranging from a pageant and a rescue to pigs and a resurrection.
Written by Anne Washburn and directed by Steve Cosson, the production marks the latest collaboration between the two artists, whose previous works include Mr. Burns, A Post-Electric Play and A Devil at Noon.
