The Water’s Edge

Helen won’t paint the house. Erica is still angry. Nate buries himself in books. No one swims in the lake. Deep in the Massachusetts woods a lakeside mansion slides slowly into disrepair, all change halted after a terrible tragedy many years before. Rich and successful, Richard returns to reclaim it, model girlfriend in tow. But his family still live there, and as he tries to insinuate himself back into their lives, the reason for his departure emerges and seething bitterness and anger boil into shocking action. Caustic, funny, poignant and thought-provoking, The Water’s Edge, echoing Aeschylus’ Agamemnon, flings itself from American naturalism to the heart of Greek Tragedy, where revenge and murder lurk unseen.
