In this new show, Randolph Wonder lives in a bog in a vigil of grief and guilt, in a ramshackle cabin he built by hand, 15 years after his twin brother went into the bog to retrieve a fly ball and never returned. As his home starts sinking into the earth and his three sisters arrive with three different agendas, Randolph must choose between seeking the dead and returning to life.
Character breakdowns are as follows: Randolph Wonder, a grief stricken writer in his late 20s; Misty Wonder, one of the sisters, age 18-22, a student, creative spirit with a lost and conflicted soul; Lenora Wonder, another sister, in her mid 20s, bitter, quick-witted, hard-edged and opinionated; Olivia Wonder, the third sister, in her early 30s, kind-hearted, parental/mother figure, a psychologist; and Autumn, who is in her early 20s, nature-loving, finds beauty in the scientific, a breath of fresh air.
The theater is at 222 Sargent Drive. Visit LongWharf.org for additional information.
