Full-length dramatic play. Little girls like to play house, and grown women sometimes spend their lives trying to make those dream houses come true. That quest mires Lee and her mother Helen in the past in this play about the seductive nature of home and family. The only house for Lee is her grandmother Martha’s place, where she spent summers as a child. While waiting for that perfect home, Lee never chooses or commits to a home of her own. When Martha Wright dies and Helen decides to sell the Wright place, a convoluted family struggle begins. Meanwhile, Lee’s best friend Diana goes on a lifelong search for the ideal house and family;
a journey that takes her from a hippie farm to a suburban paradise, and from a traveling camper to a church shelter.
