Alana and Mel are officially moving in together. While packing up in preparation for their new apartment, Alana receives a phone call from her brother, Saul. Unearthing a pact made by two scared children and facing memories of brutally attacking an old friend, Alana tries to figure out if she’s capable of following through on the pact while her friends try to bring her back from the brink. Buckshot explores the lengths to which we go in order to protect our siblings and ourselves from the past and present. Surprisingly funny at times, this new play deals with the common ups and downs of being in relationships as well as the realities of sexual abuse.

“An exercise in ambiguity, picking apart how years of memories and influences can lead a person to do something that, from a distance, might seem insane.” —The Stranger
“Buckshot is a slowly widening crack in the door of … consciousness.” —The Stranger
“Buckshot explores the lengths we go to in order to protect our siblings and ourselves from the past and present.” —New Play Exchange
