Our play centers on a family secret that for decades hangs over, interweaves, and poisons the entire life of the family. The secret eventually comes out, but does that change anything at all? Or does everything remain the same? Are mother and daughter capable of confronting the past? Or will they continue in silence, because the truth is too painful and frightening? The play’s main question is whether honesty is necessary within a family. What can come of keeping secrets, and what effect does the truth have?
