Following the April 3rd performance of Driftwood, join us for a talkback with playwright Lans Traverse.

A wheat farm in Alfalfa County, OK is the setting for Lans Traverse’s raw and gripping play Driftwood. Moving between 1933 and 1954, the play exposes the gritty underbelly of a family torn apart by greed. Crowther, the son who was given a medical education while his sisters went to work, moves like a snake amongst his family members, tricking his sisters out of their inheritance and ultimately turning his own parents out of their house. Yet in the end, it is Crowther who must face what he’s done and stand alone, while the strength of family brings the others together and gives hope for the future.

A finalist at New York's Summer Play Festival, Driftwood will have its world premiere at Main Street Theater.
