Destination Unknown

Description

On an autumn morning in Savannah’s moss-draped Bonaventure Cemetery, six visitors arrive: a dying man and the wife who refuses to lose him; two old friends meeting over a shared grave with a loaded gun and a reckoning long overdue; and a father and son circling the secret their family has held in silence for years. Presiding over them is Horace, gravedigger, philosopher, and guide, who measures proximity to the afterlife by the tick of his silver pocket watch. DESTINATION UNKNOWN is a play about grief—the grief of a stolen future, a buried past, and a conversation never allowed to happen. Anchored in one of the South’s great gardens of the dead, the play is by turns rich with humor and quietly devastating. It grapples with what we owe those we’ve lost—and everything we still owe one another.
