With a storm threatening and strange sounds coming from the nearby forest, 40-ish Ben and his younger sister Sam are forced to leave the plot on foot. As they walk, the two re-hash events of the past. They both air their grievances until the strange sounds begin to take physical form, forcing them into an abandoned house. Strangely, the house is not entirely empty and not entirely unfamiliar. There, they discover a truth they did not know, and come to terms with their shared history. *From the Producers* Check out The Portraits along with other recent releases including *Family Markers* by Faye Sholiton and Limbo by Agnes Herrmann at PL Radio <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/plradio/>, and look for additional new plays by Julia Fisher, Gail Nyoka, and others in the coming weeks! *Credits* Run Time: 23:30 Produced by Playwrights Local <http://www.playwrightslocal.org/> with Radio on the Lake Theatre <https://radioonthelaketheatre.org/>.
