Dove
Dove is a full length play in two acts with a running time of approximately 100 minutes.
When Effie and Grant’s eight-year-old daughter Dove is killed on a carnival swing ride, their different expressions of grief drive them apart. Now Dove returns as an adult for twenty-four hours, determined to keep her family together. A play about forgiveness, hope, and the transcendent bonds between parents and children.
