A patrol officer Vet who lives on the Mexico-Texas border with his much younger second wife Grace, is to be awarded a medal for his service. The presentation ceremony offers the couple an opportunity to patch things up with the patrolman’s estranged son Buddy by inviting him to attend. But will he come, and if he does, will everything go to plan, and just whose plan is it anyway? Directed by Femi Elufowoju jr, this simmering 2010 drama by Suzan-Lori Parks receives its UK premier at Arcola Theatre.
