Description

September Shoes is a visually evocative, lyrical play about four people in search of redemption. On a visit to their childhood home in the desert town of Dolores, Gail and Alberto, a middle-aged couple, struggle to come to terms with the past, including Gailes relationship with her Aunt Lily and the accidental death of Albertoes sister, Ana, 30 years before. Two local residents, Huilo, a cemetery groundsman, and Cuki, a hotel maid, deal with their own losses in unusual ways. Slowly, each of their heart-wrenching tales comes to light until, with gorgeous simplicity, all four realize that they are inextricably bound together. Approximate running time: 1 hour, 40 minutes. Area staging.
