| In
the play “Leaving Iowa”, successful Boston writer Don, having missed
his father’s funeral three years earlier, feels compelled now to return
his ashes to his father’s boyhood home. Arriving there, only to discover the family homestead is now a grocery store, Don is faced with a dilemma -- what to do with Dad’s ashes? Not wanting to turn around and go back to tell Mom and Sis he failed his mission, Don sets out on a road trip to find the proper alternative resting place for his father’s ashes. The play features the all-too-familiar family road trips taken by Dad, Mom, Sis and Don throughout his childhood. Don relives these delightful disastrous family vacations – like those in all of our memories – through flashbacks from his past and vignettes including an assortment of present-day characters he meets along the way. |
