SETTING
A house in North Carolina. Could also be Virginia, or Maryland, or Tennessee.
It is not Mississippi, or Alabama, or Florida. That's a different thing altogether.
TIME
The American South, to me, exists in a kind of liminal space between the past and the present with an aspirational relationship to the future that is contingent to your history living in the South. All that to say... I’m writing this play from inside the second decade of the 21st century. This world aesthetically sits anywhere in the four to six decades proceeding the current moment.
