Playwright and film writer David Epstein presents a series of three plays-Mahalo, Desperados, and Arky-tracing the story of an American family navigating a years-long crisis driven by a child's mental illness. By turns harrowing, wildly comic, and deeply affecting, The Arky Trilogy vividly captures the shocking twists of life as experienced by one family touched by terror and grounded in love.
