Dove

Effie and Grant’s eight-year-old daughter Dove was killed when a chain broke on a carnival swing ride. Effie shuts down emotionally, avoids saying Dove’s name, and buries herself in church work. Grant’s grief and anguish have become unbearable to Effie, and now she is planning her escape. Dove returns for twenty-four hours as an adult, demanding her mother’s attention and determined to stop her from tearing their family apart. She insists that Effie revisit the past with her, but only Dove knows what they will find there. A play about forgiveness, hope, and the transcendent bonds between parents and children.
