LOGLINE:
Valentine’s Day morning in 1984 in
Providence, Rhode Island. As their
father lies dying, a long estranged brother and
sister confront the pain of their childhood and
open old wounds, which leads to their ultimate
reconciliation.
Based on Edward Allen Baker's off-Broadway drama of the same title, NORTH OF PROVIDENCE
contains visceral dialogue that stays true to its impressive theatrical origin. The conversation between a
depressed slacker brother and his hovering sister all takes place in the man's bedroom, a place he cannot
seem to leave. The love of his sister comes out in a disturbing manner, yet we see that she only wants
him to accept the reality of what has happened to their father and family. Superb naturalistic acting
during a brutal and saddening argument builds to a well-earned reconciliation.
