Does serendipity bring us together or is it only a myth? From an ailing woman who plans one final trip, to her daughter planning one great escape and her son falling prey to a prank gone wrong, this funny, intimate, and heartbreaking play explores the lives that may be happening just out of reach of our own.
When the Egyptian Lord of the Dead, drunkenly crashes the annual camping trip of four middleaged metal-music fans, will the result be the best male bonding weekend ever? Or its last? Light the campfire, cue the drumming, and toss in a few heart-stopping surprises. It’s a long night of the soul—hot dogs optional.
