Description
“Short Stories” is a quartet inspired by Jim Harrison’s poem “Moving,” an exploration of the complex relationships between its four characters. Through a series of vignettes played out on David Christopher Krause’s moveable set, which becomes at times a bed, a boat, a chapel, and a playground, as the characters search for redemption.
