When two strong-willed sisters return to their family’s empty, run-down New Jersey home, they’re finally ready to deal with the horrific event that happened there. Or did it?
When two strong-willed sisters return to their family’s empty run-down New Jersey home, the sisters begin to question the events of their horrific past – and present. As these mysteries unravel, home sick is ultimately about memory: what we remember, what we think we remember, what we've made up, what we conceal and what we may have chosen or need to forget for some greater good.
A.R.T. NY, 520 8th Ave. (Between 36th/37th St.),
