Synopsis

This stunning comic drama begins the morning of Teddy Parker's debutante ball, that archetypal phenomenon in Southern culture known as a maiden's "coming out." Teddy's mother, the beautiful and formidable Jen Parker Turner, has willed this event into being. Ostracized from polite society ever since she was accused and acquitted of the murder of her wealthy husband, Jen has been looking to Teddy's coming-out gala to revive her family's reputation. As the play unfolds, various secrets emerge. This is a play about the price of secrets and the power that love and lovelessness hold over our lives.
