THE NEST

$19.00

A RED DOOR PUBLICATION

They dream of changing the world. Until they wake up.

Victor, an aging widower, lives in a subdivided house with his grown-up children and foster son, two lodgers, a live-in housekeeper, and their many guests. To Victor’s dismay, his sprawling home has become a hub for a new generation he doesn’t understand. Under the one roof they live, fight, dance, pray, drink, love, and try to find a way out, in this darkly comic play about the ends of youth, the beginnings of disillusion, and a new generation struggling to fly.

(This play is sold in our eCombo format, which provides a bundle of file types in a single download, so you can read your script on your favourite e-reader device or print from PDF. Download more information)

''The questions the play asks about how to balance the ideals of youth with the reality of the world around you will always be relevant.''
