Play Synopsis: The play revolves around well-off, middle-aged couple, Agnes and Tobias, who have their complacency shattered when friends Harry and Edna appear on their doorstep, claiming an encroaching, nameless fear has driven them from their own home. But this household, in which the stern, sharp-tongued Agnes is the “fulcrum,” is already teetering from the “willful” drinking of Agnes’ sister, Claire. These neighbors plus the return of the couple’s daughter, Julia, seeking sanctuary from her fourth failed marriage, bring doubt, recrimination, and ultimately solace, upsetting the “delicate balance” of Agnes and Tobias’ world.
