The Trees offers an unexpected answer in the story of a brother and sister who unwittingly establish a utopia in the park next to their father's house.

The Trees was commissioned by Playwrights Horizons with funds provided by the Jody Falco and Jeffrey Steinman commission for Emerging Playwrights.
