A four-hander, mother-daughter story, with a set literally made from garbage!

Susan Mendoza and Jess Beveridge

Zoe arrives home for a rare visit and finds her estranged mother Gloria, once a respected sculptress, creating new monuments from discarded objects in her backyard, distressing the new neighbor who harbors a different opinion of her "work."  Buried deep in the strange menagerie lies a trauma that must be recognized if Zoe and Gloria are ever to heal.
