Alone in a small wood, Kate grieves the death of her dad — an Iraq war casualty — while lamenting a looming move to Texas with her newly widowed mother. A special place Kate once shared with her father, the familiar forest is now filled with the whispered memories of other “military brats” like her who have also lost parents in combat.
It’s in this peaceful place among the trees that she’s found by her best friend, Jamie, who tries in earnest to support Kate, though she can’t fully fathom the pain of losing a parent in the prime of life. But Kate knows, and the Whispers do, too. And it’s only by sharing their stories that they can be sure to never forget. This powerful one-act is a beautiful and touching ensemble piece that gives every single actor a monologue and a moment in the spotlight.
Simple to stage, it pays tribute to those killed in conflict who will live on in the whispered memories held near and dear by their children.
