Oxbow Lakes. Dusk. A boy searches for sleep. - A mother searches for her son. - A husband searches for the woman he once married. - The wood is calling - the dark space on the edge of Oxbow. - Will it reveal what they seek? - Will they find their way home? A body floats up from the lake... Oxbow Lakes dramatises a child's experience of his parents conflicted feelings towards him and themselves. It turns this emotional, psychological territory into an imaginative visual landscape inhabited by an array of characters - comic, grotesque, disturbing. Oxbow Lakes is part fairy-tale, part murder-mystery, part dark musical-comedy.
