Fiona and Guy are haunted. On the two-year anniversary of their son Tristan’s disappearance, the couple dive deep into their fleeting final memories of him. As they slowly uncover the true story of what happened to Tristan, their language becomes increasingly fractured, as the truth of the worst loss of their lives finally sinks in. This contemporary play by Lauren Yee explores how grief and fear affect our ability to communicate with each other, even those we understand best. Funny, gripping, and mysterious, this play asks what there is left to say when our world comes undone.
The play runs approximately 90 minutes without an intermission, and contains mature content.
