The Marsh San Francisco will present “Axis,” a vivid new production directed and written by Dirk Alphin. It’s July 4, 1976, and while everyone is celebrating America’s bicentennial, the Fogg family are the last folks in a town that’s sinking underground as the largest open-air strip mine on the face of the earth is swallowing up everything in sight. “Axis” follows Fogg family members Seth, Leora, and Gramps as they navigate storms and harness sparks. Among the issues that surface are illegitimate son Seth’s need to come out, his mother, Leora’s quest for her “pot o’ gold,” and Gramps, who uses a wheelchair, urge to remember old Native songs in order to control and face his personal fireworks. While navigating the desert heat and a crumbling world around them, the Foggs encounter both togetherness and loneliness, as well as an unexpected suiter willing to woo more than one of the clan.
