A new play commissioned by the Lied Center for the Performing Arts. Produced by the Messenger Theatre Company of NYC.

What is the landscape of the human heart? How is the place we call home shaped by our history and our hopes? Playwright Christopher Cartmill explores these questions in an exciting and moving new play written specifically for the Lied Center for Performing Arts and for ALL those who have longed for home. A female Native doctor fulfilling a promise and building a practice, a Spanish conquistador who has lost his way a vast ancient prairie, a young man seeking shelter safety and a new life free of persecution, a young man and woman transformed by violent encounter, an guilty army officer intent on peace and justice, a suburban housewife trying to put the finishing touches on new house and a Native Chief standing for his right to go home: all these share the stage and discover that we perhaps have things common that transcend even time. (This performance is part of a three-part project inspired by the historic trial of Chief Standing Bear.)
