Diana stood alone at the funeral, watching her friend weep as her mother was buried. George hid in the ladies’ bathroom, clutching a vodka soda, shame sinking into his stomach. This is how she found him. Drawn together, they embark on a passionate and consuming love affair, overcome with great suffering and addiction, bound by their collective gravity. Each knows with cruel certainty that they were made for each other, but is that worth the cost of persistence?

Lilac by Jackson Used, is a powerful, surreal portrait of loss and the aftershocks of trauma. Navigating the interior life of the characters with ambitious, imagistic worlds set free of time, this work interrogates the truth of love, the closeness of our dreams, and the romance of grand gestures.

They think they know who took my daughter.
It was on the radio.
They’re saying he’s a serial killer. That he killed other girls. That he killed her.

When a suspect emerges for the alleged abduction and murder of their teenage daughter more than a decade earlier, Brigitte and Serge are violently pulled back together again. With this new information coming to light, Brigitte and Serge are forced to reckon with the heavy pain of their past, and the brutal impact this event has had in shaping who they are.

Pit is a rich, textural exploration of grief, justice and the trauma that comes with waiting.
