Former actor-turned-ambassador, Republican Party bigwig Lyman Wyeth and his wife, Polly, live a picturesque life in their very own affluent exile - the Palm Springs Desert. When their daughter, left-winged Brooke, returns home during Christmas of 2004 for the first time in six years, she reveals that she has written a tell-all memoir that discloses the family's controversial past, including one very painful incident. This shocking announcement sends the Wyeth family down an emotional spiral where they are forced to revisit and ultimately heal their wounds from the past. Polly's recovering alcoholic sister, Silda, and Brooke's TV producer brother, Trip, complete this holiday family reunion.
This multiple Tony nominated play is a darkly comic and searingly truthful portrait of one family in crisis. It is electrifying, powerful and heartbreakingly funnyand one of the hottest new plays in America right now! After years of absence, Brook Wyeth returns home for Christmas for an anything-but-joyful reunion. When Brooke announces that she's about to publish a memoir that exposes her familys dark history, she forces her loved ones to confront their demons, relive their tragic past and reveal their deepest secrets.
