WHAT IS IT ABOUT?
This gentle comic drama from Wilson's beloved Talley Trilogy will be directed by Tony Award-nominee Terry Kinney (One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest, reasons to be pretty).

Long-buried rivalries and burning secrets reignite on a late summer evening as this motley tribe struggles to adapt to the changes wrought in their lives.

That's definitely on display in this production (which will be seen later this summer at the Williamstown Theatre Festival) as eight actors are repeatedly given chances to shine center stage -- and seize them -- while depicting what happens in the sun-ro[...]
