Cabin 12
Author: John Bishop
Publisher: Dramatists Play Service, Inc.
ISBN: 9780822201717
Category : Fathers and sons
Languages : en
Pages : 36
Book Description
"The place is a motel in a small Virginia town, where a father and son have come to make funeral arrangements for their son and brother. He was a truck driver, formerly a star high school athlete, who was killed when his rig jackknifed on the highway. As they talk about him, and his life, the possibility that perhaps his death was not accidental at all begins to emerge. Gradually the tension between the two men builds, interrupted at one point by an explosive confrontation with a noisy couple in the next room and while they are united in their grief the gap of communication between them, their differing perception of the dead son and brother, is increasingly evident. In the end we know that the death was not an accident but an escape--fleeing from the disappointment and failure which still infuse the lives of the family left behind."--
