Powerful play in the style of a ghost story. Takes place in a small town in Ohio. This one-woman show is the story of Charlotte McGraw, a 12-year-old girl struggling to come to terms with the death of her twin brother, Jamie. The story also follows the growing “legend” of Charlotte McGraw, as narrated by a pack of teenagers who live near Charlotte on a man-made lake in southwest Ohio. As with all great legends, truth and fiction become inextricably linked. The truth is that Charlotte's brother was hit by a car and died in her arms. The truth is that, moments before he died, he kissed her gently on the lips. The legend is that everything Charlotte kissed from that moment forward also died. Play begins upon the discovery of her new “skill”, tracking the events that transpire when the man who killed her brother returns to town, and Charlotte's family attempts to use her skill to get rid of him.
