Colchester Fringe ’24: Two Come Home
A decade after a dramatic split, star-crossed lovers reunite at the worst time. Guilt, rage, and love collide in this new play with music.
It’s winter in rural Kentucky where ex-prisoner and recovered addict Evan Nicolson leads a solemn and solitary existence, until some old ghosts return to unbury a decade’s worth of pain.
Two Come Home is a new play with music that sets an unflinching gaze on cycles of poverty, addiction, and domestic violence in America’s rural southern communities.
