Of Good Stock

Episode Five - Of Good Stock

Written by Melissa Ross

Directed by Kym Clayton

Produced by Galleon Theatre Group

Synopsis

The three Stockton sisters (Jess, Amy and Celia) are witty, brilliant, beautiful, and dysfunctional. When their father, legendary novelist Mick Stockton died, he left his three daughters a house in Cape Cod, control over his books, and a whole lot of issues. He was a Pulitzer Prize-winning novelist who had many affairs, and their mother died young, and it's left them all pretty messed up. It's Jess's 41st birthday and she and her husband Fred have invited her younger sisters to their house on Cape Cod to celebrate. It's an important milestone for Jess: she's surpassing the age of her mother, who died from cancer years ago. Amy is joined by her fiancé, Josh. Celia, the youngest, brings Hunter, her boyfriend. Their reunion ignites passions, humour, and wildly unanticipated upheavals. The men struggle to be a part of this elusive family's legacy. Of Good Stock is a raw, poignant, and hilarious look at the fun and dysfunction of that thing we call family.
