f*sh

by Lisa Sillaway

It’s summer and it is hot in rural Kansas, as both temperatures and tempers rise at Diana’s childhood home. The website-sunflowerthree children of Burt and Wanda have come to help their parents celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary and in doing so, rediscover exactly why they were happy to leave home in the first place. Wanda, a loving mom but passive aggressive, is eager to bring her family together and celebrate the marital milestone while Burt is more interested in planning for his upcoming fishing trip – and getting a few choice verbal jabs in at the kids. Diana’s saving grace during the week? Spending some time with her old high school boyfriend who has returned home and is eager to rekindle their relationship. But things like party preparation, family dinners, sharing a joint with grandma and even a little romance all abruptly come to an end with a death in the family – leaving the survivors to sort out their feelings and a few family secrets. 4w/3m

Lewis Morrow: f*sh by Lisa Sillaway

Sillaway has created the perfect collection of characters, each with their own arc and purpose. The sibling relationships are very authentic and the mother and father are so familiar yet the story feels new from page one. Though funny consistently, it eases the drama into the conversations that take place between parents and their adult children. The set, as laid out by the playwright, would make for an incredible stage production.
