What if I tell you one time too many that I love you, and you disappear?
Thirty-somethings Tequi and Cedric move to the Hudson River Valley to fulfill their dreams of a life in the country, following in the footsteps of generations of Black farmers before them. They close the deal on a small cottage with the perfect patch of land for planting and settle into their new home, but their dreams are tested when they discover that their one and only neighbor has an unsettling past— and a taste for fresh roadkill. Tequi and Cedric must confront their deepest fears to hold on to their dreams and to each other.
A romantic thriller, Evans’s suspenseful work is a commission from the Audible Theater Emerging Playwrights Fund.
