Rural Texas. Late 90s. Margaret Hill is in a full-body cast after a skydiving incident. Her father-in-law just welcomed a new baby with his much younger wife. Her son is in crisis. Her husband told her to jump. Now, they’re all in the same house.
A sitcom episode torn apart and reconstructed as a ‘high art’ taut new-play drama, with eerie echos of its animated past.
