(CAPE MAY, NJ) -- In the dead of winter, Henry flies from New York to Florida to offer condolences at the funeral of a father figure he never knew. But as the booze flows at the wake, are the surviving widow and her grown daughter ready to raise a glass to the unexpected guest? Set in 2012, somewhere between the dusk of the worst days of the AIDS crisis and the dawn of marriage equality, Two Henrys is a humor-laced drama about guilt and grief, perceptions and prejudices and the urge to find family.

Readers will be Marlena Lustik reading the part of Constance, Barry Phillips will be reading the part of Henry, and Annie Edgerton will be reading the part of Amy.
