CHARACTERS

EMERY HARRIS (40’s-70’s) Lives in a treehouse. Uses a walker; wears a gardening hat and glasses. Plants make sense. People are confusing; much safer to be alone with her plants.

HAZEL: (40’s-70’s) Emery’s older sister. Waitress for way too long, taken care of Emery even longer. Frustrated, powerless, rage building. She could have done so much with her life.

LUANNE: (20’s- 30’s) Incredibly sweet and guileless. Hungry for joy, for a tribe, for something larger to believe in. (You may already know her from Be Here Now).
