Desert Moon and Crossroads

With "Desert Moon" and "Crossroads," Chris Dickerson explores the darkest sides of life, love, death and personal ambitions in these sharply diverse plays. "Desert Moon" is set in the American Southwest in 1992. A wandering stranger, Shane, enters the lives of the DeMarco family, seemingly to answer the question, is he or is he not, Miranda DeMarco's long lost half-brother. But in the world Dickerson creates, no answers come easily. In "Crossroads," four young people take refuge when their car breaks down on a deserted English country road, in the home of the mysterious Mr. McAllister. McAllister seems to know all about them - or does he And what they discover about McAllister changes their future forever. Witty, ironic, haunting, and filled with memorable characters, "Desert Moon" and "Crossroads" are classic plays.
