Playwright Sharr White transforms photographer Larry Sultan’s landmark photo memoir for the stage in this new three-character play. In the 1980s, Sultan spent a decade photographing and interviewing his parents and unearthing the memories beneath his family’s home movies. The result is a deeply intimate and comic portrait of a mother, a father, and their son. Though set in the recent past, this poignant and theatrically inventive play is both of-the-moment and timeless.
