by: Lee Blessing
Directed by: Jay Mower
Produced by:Sherrie and Joel Colbourn
Method acting must be used throughout.
The setting is the small town of Independence, Iowa, the lifelong home of Evelyn Briggs.
Her oldest daughter, Kess, is a university professor in Minneapolis, but she has come home at the request of her sister, Jo who is concerned for Evelyn's mental health.
Kess, a professed lesbian, wants to cut her family ties once and for all; Jo, an incurable romantic and longtime virgin, has now become pregnant; while Sherry, salty-tongued and amoral, wants only to finish high school so she can leave home for good.
In the end, there is no accommodation possible but, instead, only a kind of arbitrary independence for each of the protagonists, as they come to realize that each must find her own heaven—or hell—in her own way..
