“DRIFTWOOD”
SYNOPSIS
A DYING FATHER ASKS HIS SON TO PHOTOGRAPH HIS DEATH
Daniel Wood, a moderately successful photographer living in New York City, is forced to face the painful memories of his broken childhood when he returns to his Midwest childhood home at the request of his dying father…whom he never loved. After decades of relentless anger and largely unexpressed contempt, Daniel may finally find the courage to ask the questions that have plagued him since his boyhood. His father may finally be able to do something to help his son. They both may be able to mend some of the fences that were all but destroyed decades before. But the clock is running out…
Spanning nearly a century, Driftwood is a drama about love, regret, and the passage of time. As Daniel confronts their fractured relationship, the play weaves through time—from a 1920s scandal that shaped their family’s destiny to pivotal moments in the 1960s that defined Daniel’s childhood. Through shifting memories and long-buried secrets, Driftwood explores the inescapable ties of family, the ghosts of the past, and the search for meaning in life's fleeting moments.
