If you discovered your mother had withheld information you should have had growing up… information relating to your privileged class status, your legacy and even your race…how would you respond? How to let her know how deeply these lies about family… the ones that she passed on to you… have stymied and ruined your life? How to let her know that, if you can’t learn the truth about your legacy and past, you see no future ahead that you’d care to live out.
This is the dilemma that Natalie, the protagonist of THE HAPPIER TRAIL, faces. What makes her issues so difficult to resolve is the fact that her mother… the person she needs to confront to get her answers… is dead. Recently deceased.
THE HAPPIER TRAIL is a time-traveling play for 3 actors.
It’s written in the style of magical realism… with an emphasis on the magical!
