“Well, I don’t know anybody that likes the past.”

In the Tuttle family, the past is not to be discussed. But when their estranged and silent brother is spotted at a hometown diner twenty years after a confounding childhood crime, buried memories and unspoken bounties hatch one boozy, plotting Thanksgiving.

Pre-show music by DJ Savior Breath. Post-show discussion led by Jill Rafson (Literary Manager of the renowned Roundabout Theatre Company in New York City).
