"Sins of the Father" by Synthia Williams

“Like lies, secrets are just coverings for what really happened,” writes playwright. Muscles stiff, face hidden in the shadows, a man turns around to realize that his father is pointing a gun at him. This is the opening scene of eta Creative Arts Foundation’s production of Sins of the Father, a play about secrets, confessions, and clemency among three generations of men. To his father, this man is a stranger, buried in the darkness along with the family’s untouchable history. (JASMIN LIANG)
