Description: When a brother and sister gather to clean out their late father’s house, an unexpected discovery turns an already emotional task into a strange and darkly funny mystery. With no clear answers, speculation runs wild, long-held family dynamics rise to the surface, and their father’s fascination with Walt Whitman’s Leaves of Grass takes on curious new significance.
Developed from an award-winning one-act competition piece, this sharp, offbeat comedy by HLT’s resident playwright blends absurd circumstances, surprising secrets, and a perceptive look at the complicated bond between adult siblings. The less you know going in, the more fun the mystery will be!
