Written by MacArthur Fellow Samuel D. Hunter (The Whale, A Bright New Boise) and directed by Tony Award winner Joe Mantello (Wicked, Airline Highway), this comic, cosmic and intimate drama features the return of Tony and Emmy Award-winning ensemble member Laurie Metcalf(The Conners, Three Tall Women – Tony Award), joined by John Drea (Steppenwolf debut),Meighan Gerachis (POTUS, Domesticated) and Micah Stock (Steppenwolf debut, It's Only A Play – Tony Award nomination).
In the outer limits of rural Idaho, the last two estranged members of the Fernsby family tree, a reclusive aunt and her gay nephew, reunite to sort the mess left behind after a troubled father's passing. They now face an uncomfortable and universal question: how do we deal with other people? And is connection more trouble than it’s worth? As their relationship begins anew, the two reluctant Fernsbys – separated by age and experience – start to understand the joys and perils of letting someone else into your own story, even if only for a moment.
