From the acclaimed author, this Tony Award–winning drama of family
secrets delivers "brilliantly effective . . . enormously provocative .
. . theatrical suspense" ( New York Post ). The Callifer family has
assembled in the English country home of Wild Grove where its
patriarch—a once-renowned rationalist and man of letters—nears
death. Arriving unexpectedly to pay his respects is his son, James, a
pariah among the Callifers, who finds a dark veil still drawn over his
mysterious childhood. It was decades ago, when James was fourteen,
that something happened to him in the garden shed, a black hole in his
memories. For everyone else, it's an unforgettable source of
unease—and for some, unforgiveable. To discover the truth, James
seeks out his ostracized uncle, an alcoholic priest with nothing left
to lose. What unfolds makes for "some of the most moving, forceful and
compelling theatre since Eugene O'Neill" ( The Harvard Crimson).
Graham Greene's Tony Award–winning work for the stage made its
Broadway debut in 1957 and was hailed by the New York Times as "an
original drama that probes deep into the spirit and casts a spell."
