The Apple Tree at The Belfry Stage

Anne and Cassie Winslow have spent their adult lives trying to escape the memories of a childhood fraught with trauma; one through devoting herself to becoming a doctor, and the other through alcoholism. Despite their attempts to forge a different path for their futures, the sisters find themselves inextricably drawn back together for a weekend to deal with the culmination of one of the more harrowing pieces of their past; their fathers execution. However, they arent the only family members present for the event; their recently discovered half-sister, Emmeline, appears with some shocking information that will change the womens lives forever.The Apple Tree is a heartbreaking, funny, and cathartic examination of sisterhood. It also begs the question: How far does the apple fall from the tree?
