Written in the late 1980s and first performed in 1995. The play centers around a Southern black family based on one that McCarthy spent many months working with. Set in Louisville, Kentucky in the 1970s, it delves into several generations of this family, revealing their dynamics, struggles, and connections.

‘Cormac McCarthy has crafted a drama that bears all the hallmarks of his great fiction: precise observation of the physical world; language that has the bite of common speech and the force of Biblical prose; and a breathtaking command of the art of storytelling.’
