It’s just another council meeting in the small town of Big Cherry. The bumbling, dishonest, substance abused, and ridiculous council persons enter one by one. All is well, that is until the newcomer, Mr. Peel starts asking uncomfortable questions. Having missed the last meeting to attend his mother’s funeral he feels out of the loop and quickly becomes aware that things have changed — and no one wants to talk about it. Emotions get heated, tension mounts, until someone is brave enough to tell the painful truth.

The play – a comedy, a mystery, an allegory – unfolds entirely in real time at a city council meeting of Big Cherry, a small town that could be anywhere! This scathing new comedy about small-town politics and real-world power, from the author of August: Osage County, exposes the ugliness behind some of our most closely held narratives while asking each of us what we would do to keep from becoming history’s losers. As the routine business of a city council meeting unfolds, with all its backstabbing, personal agendas, pet peeves and unstated histories on full comic display, the mystery of the missing councilman reveals itself.
