Using the myth of The Twelve Labors of Hercules to explore the inner workings of a hardscrabble World War II-era family in Idaho. We follow a single day in the life of this family—October 15, 1949—as seen through the damaged mind of the eldest daughter, Cleo. Through her fragmented memories, prophetic dreams, and swirling language, we begin to understand the price she and her family have paid for a little dignity, while awaiting the return of their long absent father, lost in the war half a world away.
10 AUGUST – 1 SEPTEMBER 2012
10 & 11 August | Friday & Saturday 16 August – 18 August | Thursday – Saturday 22 August – 1 September | Wednesday – Saturday
All Performances are at 7:30 p.m.
