Description
Ginny and her half-brother Christopher are unmoored in the wake of their mother's death. Their close family friend, Justice, introduces them to a local artist named Lot, a recluse and outsider, hoping that he and Ginny can make a song together. Maybe that'll help somehow.
In this restless quartet about caretaking and caregiving, in which the very fabric of reality is up for debate, Will Arbery charts the quiet, particular contracts of the heart that forge a new family.
"Will Arbery is quickly establishing himself as the poet of Texas loneliness. He is one of the most exciting playwrights working in the American theatre, stretching the form to new shapes and expanding his voice with each successive play." - Exeunt NYC
"Bravely, Corsicana is a play that acknowledges the agency and sexual desires of people that still exist in the popular imagination as helpless and sexless - accessories to one's altruism rather than complete and dynamic human beings." - TheaterMania
"A strange and beautiful new play... without ignoring the bone-deep sadness of characters confused and stymied by loss, it lets us watch them climb their way out of it - heading toward joy and sharing some in the process." - The New York Times
