Famalee

After a shocking misfortune, the grieving Raul is forced to care for his opinionated, feisty mother-in-law, Emma, who turns Rauls life upside down. When the birthfather of Raul and his partner Peter's, adoptive son, Chris, makes a surprising return to wrestle custody of the child he never knew he had, the one person Raul never expected he could count on, Emma, becomes his greatest ally. Famalee, A dramatic, sensitive, and surprisingly funny stage play. Famalee, explores the topical and very real issues of adoption, fear, marriage equality, religion, love and loss and the courage it takes to be an unconventional family.
