The story of the play
Will Martin Rothberg ever be able to escape his past? A famous illustrator and writer of children's books, Martin has been enjoying a private and secluded life with his partner of nearly forty years. Prickly and outspoken, Martin has rarely seen his son since walking out on his family more than forty years ago. Now Martin's estranged son has appeared at his father's doorstep, asking for a seemingly innocent favor. Martin's response sets in motion a dramatic chain of events that exposes the family's betrayals and secrets as it struggles to come to terms with its past.
