FAIRVIEW
FAIRVIEW synopsis
(from Dramatists Play Service website) At the Frasier household, preparations for Grandmas birthday party are underway. Beverly is holding on to her sanity by a thread to make sure this party is perfect, but her sister cant be bothered to help, her husband doesnt seem to listen, her brother is MIA, her daughter is a teenager, and maybe nothing is what it seems in the first place! FAIRVIEW is a searing examination of families, drama, family dramas, and the insidiousness of white supremacy.
