Official synopsis Publisher
“TWIGS AND BONE is not the first play to put a make-believe baby on stage, but it may be the most hair-raising. This particular phantom infant, conceived by playwright Tiffany Antone, figures prominently and paranormally in a gothic family drama…a gripping ghost story that explodes in your brain….
We are in the childhood home of Moira, now a 30ish lawyer, who has not been back in eight years but has been paying for a landline and a succession of cleaners to help out her demented parents, Bonnie and William. Alarmed when the phone is cut off and having no other way to reach them, Moira shows up for what will be a horrific three-day visit full of recollected resentments, delusions, and downright scary plot twists….
What lifts this family’s epic meltdown from excruciating to riveting is not only the astonishing storyline (which I’ll not reveal) and delectably idiosyncratic characters but also Antone’s exquisite writing. Tucked among the dialog is some breathtaking poetry and imagery….
…what [is] indisputable is that TWIGS AND BONE is as sturdy a psychological thriller as has ever been seen in American theater.”
