Corker uses the familiar but difficult and treacherous nineteenth century device of representing the family as a microcosm of the nation state. Opening with the extended family's awkward attendance at "Serena," aging flower child of the sixties' funeral, the symbolic conflicts build quickly. Serena's sister "Merit," the hard driving, social program budget slashing female political aparatchik and her husband "Leonard," a lion of free enterprise, are hell bent on dismantling their government's social services by replacing them with a privatized human warehousing system whose track record to date has been the streamlining of the American prison system.

Based on the novel by Sheldon Currie

A story of the ill-fated love between a wandering musician-social idealist and a Cape Breton coal miner's daughter whose dreams are reawakened by their passion, this is a play of the all consuming brightness of dreams and memory, overshadowed by absantee greed, callousness, and exploitation. A tragedy that is hard as nails, totally unsentimental, yet full of love and humour.
