Synopsis

A family unravels during a cross-country road trip in this funny and poignant portrait of domestic embattlement from American playwright Julia Cho.

To the outside world, the Lee boys look perfect: Isaac is on track to be a doctor, and his younger brother, Jimmy, is a champion swimmer. But when their widowed father, Boo-Seng, decides to take them on a road trip to Durango, Colorado, the carefully constructed facades of all three begin to crack. As they near their destination, tempers flare, old wounds reopen and secrets are revealed.

Durango is the story of a man who sacrificed everything – a home, a country – for the American Dream, and whose sons must now grapple with the consequences of that choice. (buddiesinbadtimes.com)
