Details

Summary
This provocative new play is about two brothers whose lives are worlds apart, but whose loyalty and love for each other creates a compelling, dramatic story. Freddy, a masseur, lives a simple hard working life, yet he develops a keen in-depth philosophy about the world around him. We learn more about his hardships and the betrayal he soon dicovers in this play's non-linear journey through his life and memories.
