A decade after a dramatic split, star-crossed lovers reunite at the worst time. Guilt, rage, and love collide in this new play with music.
It’s winter in rural Kentucky where ex-prisoner and recovered addict Evan Nicolson leads a solemn and solitary existence, until some old ghosts return to unbury a decade’s worth of pain. Joe Eason’s new play with music sets an unflinching gaze on cycles of poverty, addiction, and domestic violence in America’s rural southern communities.
This is a self-funded, profit-share production by a queer collective working under the title Quietland LLP.
"Eason’s hauntingly melodic score is a perfect complement to the play’s affect. Performed by a tight trio of on-stage musicians, it sets just the right atmosphere for each and every narrative beat. The music works in natural tandem with the script, an all too rare accomplishment for many plays with music, not only bolstering the emotional resonance of the piece but also stylistically matching its deep connection with pace."

"It’s a powerful gay love story and inhabits a very convincing world, and for young LGBTQ+ people, it will touch many chords."
