Description

Katherine turns 45 today! Her family plans a lovely evening for her - dinner, presents, and drinks, with her husband, older son, and younger daughter. We seem set for a lovely evening. That’s until Edward arrives - her younger brother, and since his conviction of an appalling crime 6 months ago, her estranged brother. Chaos ensues as the parents have to navigate the emotional tumult of explaining to their kids why they can’t see their Uncle Eddie anymore.

Doors open at 4:45 PM for a 5 PM show start, with an expected end time of 5:50 PM.

Latecomers allowed at anytime.
