The University of Iowa | Thayer Theatre | May 2015

In the woods, there is a house where no one goes until they pass away. There, Laila stands guard to the world of the dead. Outside the house, there is a silo from which a tree has burst forth. In the silo and beneath the tree, there is Wiley who is neither part of our world, nor the world beyond. Wiley exists in a monotonous purgatory that seems to last forever. That is, until Lou comes along and shatters the wall standing between what we know and what we never shall.
