<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><span style="font-family:'Times New Roman', serif;">“Tom at the Farm ... unfolds with blurred
boundaries between lust and brutality, truth and fiction. It blends psychological-thriller elements as
it moves toward an unsettling plunge into a nightmare of fear, intolerance and
fantasy.” (Roy Berko, <i>Cleveland Theatre Reviews</i>)</span></p><p></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-bottom:.0001pt;"><span style="font-family:Arial, 'sans-serif';">Following
the accidental death of his lover, junior ad exec Tom travels from the city
to a remote farm in the country for the funeral. There he finds a religious
family who knows nothing of his existence, and is blindsided by his dead
boyfriend’s legacy of lies. The mother is expecting a girlfriend, while his late boyfriend’s
brother is obsessed with preserving a facade of “normalcy,” which causes some awkwardly
funny moments when Tom’s gal-pal shows up. However, the brother’s perverse obsession
also brings him to drag Tom into a twisted and brutal sexually-charged game to strong-arm
Tom into joining in on the lies, until Tom finally confronts the torment that
drove his lover to live in the shadows of deceit.</span></p><p></p>
