2 Male 5 Female
Amidst the idealism and violence of Freedom Summer in 1964 Mississippi, three college students vanish, seemingly without a trace
As the parents of Honey, Linda, and Wes cope with their loss, they become inescapably linked - the heirs of their lost children's dreams
Throughout the next three decades, the connections among these people with very disparate backgrounds are tested against the fire of the country's social and political turbulence
The structure of the play mixes naturalism with a surprising time curve that evokes the whirl of events surrounding the parents' interwoven journeys
REVIEWS
