Honor and the River

Set against the tempestuousness of the river and driven by the competition of spring rowing season, one young man confronts his father’s death while another grapples with his need to express his emotions in a world that discourages such vulnerabilities. A fragile friendship struggles to grow under the weight of expectations and as their parents forge an unexpected and intimate bond. Inspired by pastoral rowing paintings by Thomas Eakins, Dudley’s lyrical, wry drama, Honor and the River is the third of Luna’s season.
