The Coverly family estate is the setting for this play, which transitions between 1809 and the 1990’s. The 1809 Gothic garden is where Lady Thomasina and her tutor, Septemis, have a relationship that is romantic as well as academic. In the 1990’s descendants of the Coverlys try to discover the truth of what happened in 1809. Helping the Coverrlys are two scholars who debate the information and the facts they discover. With math and science, language and literature, love and exploration, there is something in this play for everyone.
Opening night ticket holders are invited to a free reception with the cast immediately following the first performance.
