Synopsis
Freedomland
Published by Dramatists Play Service
3 Male 4 Female
Breaking this seclusion are Noah's two daughters and son who return home for an impromptu reunion. Polly, an eternally lost Greek-studies major, is the first to arrive
In pursuit is her ferocious sister Sigrid, a painter of clowns, with a befuddled magazine interviewer in tow. Soon after, their brother, Seth, a survivalist, arrives with a backwoods pregnant girlfriend
An overdue showdown between Seth and his father sets off fireworks that illuminate the neurosis, rage and anxiety of one family - and of America at the turn of the millennium
"Freedomland's more obvious links are to Buried Child and Bosoms and Neglect. Freed, like Guare, is an inspired wordsmith with a gift for surreal touches in situations grounded in familiar and real territory" ~ CurtainUp
