Martin returns to confront his past and the estranged relationship with his daughter Layla in an ugly coastal town as he seeks meaning and redemption.
About The Play
About The Play
After years of absence, Martin returns, a middle-aged, quietly broken man, to visit his parents in the house he grew up in. The fraught relations between Martin and Layla, the daughter he abandoned many years before, echo Martin’s conflicted history with his own past, which he must now confront – along with the childhood event that shaped the course of his life. In this ugly coastal town, through a bitterly cold spring, extraordinary things happen to normal people as they struggle to find meaning and redemption in their lives.
