Past meets presents.
A newly-found journal reveals cryptic entries about a time in the early 1960’s, when two young architects struggle with a vital commission that will make or break their careers. After its discovery by the owner’s children thirty years later, the past is relived as they sort through the mysteries left behind on paper. Three actors play both their parents and children in this Pulitzer Prize-nominated play, exploring the complexity of memory and those choices that connect us even beyond our lifetime.
