the play was very well staged, very edgy and dark, almost like a horror/mystery ghost story - it was thought provoking and we will refer to it again - not for the casual theatre person or someone who doesn't want to be challenged out of their comfort zone -Written on Oct 10 2005

Description
OBIE Award-winning director Les Waters, who staged last season's soulful Eurydice and magnificent Yellowman, brings us the world premiere of a scintillating new play from one of America's most gifted young writers. The mystery begins when Gwen and Rhoda must clean out their dead father's house. Little remains, other than the grandfather clock, until they literally bring the house's ghosts to life. That's when Gwen's son, Finn, encounters Carver, a neighbor who holds the key to the family's secrets. Playwright Jordan Harrison's sparse, poignant writing is in perfect harmony with this haunting tale of heredity. As they pack up the house and unpack its secrets, his characters discover that the memories we never talk about grow larger...and the rooms we create to keep our families safe are the very places we must avoid.
