Opal and Eddie are together. Well, she’d call it survival, and he’d call it penance. As night descends, two people grapple for a good enough story to make a new life for each other in this hypnotic, haunted tale of intimacy and survival.
Participating Artists: Katherine Brook (Director); Lynnette Freeman and Jonathan Hooks (Actors)
This event is part of a performance series from 4:00pm- 6:00pm, followed by a short discussion.
