Down in the South, where the moss hangs low and the thunderstorms rumble, four ladies work to untangle a very complicated past. Truth is pain. It’s tempting to follow the path out into the darkness by the pond.

Mother knows the truth. Adult daughter Mary suspects the truth. Her shadowy memories and anxious dreams force her to demand that her mother speak. Her two younger sisters are into their own lives, not paying attention to Mary’s angst and Mother’s strange calm in the face of Mary’s accusations. But that family curse, it affects them, too, in ways untold.

This dark comedy takes its long, luscious time to reveal, layer by layer, a truly Gothic tale of family secrets. Yummy, creepy, disgusting family secrets.

VIRGINIA WALL GRUENERT rules the production as the cunning mother. Her presence dominates the stage as much as it dominates her daughters. MARGUERITE STIMPSON as troubled Mary hits all the nuances of her character, drawing us in. Be prepared to enjoy.
