The Turn of the Road / A Play in Two Scenes and an Epilogue

The play unfolds in a rural kitchen across two scenes and an epilogue, following a farming household whose daily routines collide with an impulsive love of music. Family members debate responsibility and respectability as a young son repeatedly sacrifices work for his fiddle, provoking his mother's anxiety, his sister's sympathy, and his grandfather's indulgence. Neighborly tensions, visits from other local figures, and a wandering fiddler bring external pressures and choices that test loyalties and ambitions. Quietly comic and sometimes tense, the piece explores duty versus artistic yearning, generational differences, and the small domestic negotiations that shape community life.
