It is black Friday 2004. After a disastrous family Thanksgiving on Cape Cod, Muddy runs away from her home - and her husband. She arrives at her much beloved grandson Kemper's country home in upstate New York with a bottle of scotch, and brimming with family secrets ripe to be revealed, only to discover that Kemper, disenchanted with the political and social climate as well as the recent national election, is planning to leave the country. Kemper's father Kenneth then arrives to deliver Muddy back to her life. Fight or flight? Muddy tries to convince her expatriate grandson to stay and fight for the country she loves and he is about to give up on, as Kenneth insists Muddy stay and fight for the marriage she is ready to abandon, initiating a battle of wills that exposes the need each has for the other - and for a true sense of home.

A challenging and intelligent drama with flashes of on-point humor, Bill C. Davis' My Expatriate has fresh resonance for the era of political and social change we continually find ourselves in. The play stars Tandy Cronyn as Muddy, with Brad Fraizer as Kemper and Jefferson Slinkard as Kenneth.
