The best place to see it is at Durham Performing Arts Center, Durham, North Carolina, so be sure to set aside time for it, and you'll be in for something truly remarkable.

The American Financial Crisis is still raging in the winter of 1934. In Duluth, Minnesota, at a dilapidated board-house, the consequences are most noticeable. While his wife Elizabeth continues to struggle with dementia and occasionally displays signs of mental clarity, the property's owner Nick Laine fights to prevent the bank from seizing the building. He has been having an affair with one of the tenants, Mrs. Neilsen, but is she really what he desires?

The children of Nick and Elizabeth also have many issues. Gene struggles with alcohol and lacks a sense of purpose in life, and Marianne is unmarried and with a child on the way. Each of the bizarre locals and visitors who come and go have their own secrets and tales. Their secrets, which range from imprisonment to blackmail to drug addiction, are slowly revealed amid the poetic music of Bob Dylan.
