The Language of Trees at University of Alaska Anchorage - AA Mainstage Theatre, Fine Arts Building

THE LANGUAGE OF TREES is a beautiful, haunting tale of a family separated by war. When an American translator ventures to a Middle East combat zone, an overfriendly neighbor volunteers to help his wife and son as they come to terms with his absence. As events abroad begin to spiral out of control, lives are turned upside down, and all are forced to confront the complexities of war, the fragility of language, and the meaning of neighborliness in uncertain times.
