Sterling, a former lawyer turned recluse in the Costa Rican jungle, is surprised by the arrival of his 17-year-old niece, Becky, whom he barely knows. She is a talkative high-schooler whose parents sent her out of town for a week of obscurity in the wilderness. Unaccustomed to having constant company, Sterling slowly acquires a sense of Becky’s situation, which is disconcertingly similar to his own retreat from the opinions of others, and both realize their own remorse over moral negligences.
Directed by Rick Flynn

There are two roles in this play. Sterling and Becky.
Sterling is described as mid-aged. That could be 40ish to 60ish. The director is open to the range.
Becky is described as being seventeen. She’s a teenaged girl with a bit of an attitude. She’s got a rough edge.
NOTE: The actress playing Becky doesn’t necessarily have to be seventeen, only able to play seventeen.
