From the British novelist, this Tony Award–winning drama of family
secrets delivers “brilliantly effective . . . enormously
provocative . . . theatrical suspense” (New York Post). The
Callifer family has assembled in the English country home of Wild
Grove where its patriarch—a once-renowned rationalist and man of
letters—nears death. Arriving unexpectedly to pay his respects is
his son, James, a pariah among the Callifers, who finds a dark veil
still drawn over his mysterious childhood. It was decades ago, when
James was fourteen, that something happened to him in the garden shed,
a black hole in his memories. For everyone else, it’s an
unforgettable source of unease—and for some, unforgiveable. To
discover the truth, James seeks out his ostracized uncle, an alcoholic
priest with nothing left to lose. What unfolds makes for “some of
the most moving, forceful and compelling theatre since Eugene
O’Neill” (The Harvard Crimson). Graham Greene’s Tony
Award–winning work for the stage made its Broadway debut in 1957 and
was hailed by the New York Times as “an original drama that probes
deep into the spirit and casts a spell.”
