About This Show

Evenings on the prairie are relatively quiet for Peg, a recently widowed woman in rural Wisconsin who still cooks for two. Which doesn’t go to waste whenever Ryan, a dear friend with a troubled past, pays her a visit. However, after noticing her husband’s toolbox is missing, she places a call to the local authorities—unwittingly setting off a series of events that will forever reverberate through the small community. Direct from a hit run at Chicago’s Goodman Theatre comes this complex, humanistic yarn written by Pulitzer Prize finalist Rebecca Gilman and directed by Tony Award® winner Robert Falls. Get tickets now to what the Chicago Sun-Times calls “an engrossing work of intense melancholy, filled with sympathy for its characters, and for the country.”
