Driftwood Players presents Still Life with Iris by Steven Dietz

Iris lives with her mom in the land of Nocturno - a magical place in which the workers make, by night, all of the things we see in the world by day. In Nocturno, memories do not reside in people’s minds, but instead are kept in their coats (called Past Coats). The rulers of Nocturno are determined to have the best of everything on their island - and therefore take Iris away from her home to be their daughter. To ease the pain of this separation, they remove her Past Coat, leaving her with no memory of her home or family. All that remains of Iris’ past is a single button from her coat. Using the button as a clue, Iris joins with friends and together they search for home.
