It happened because of what they did.”

When her younger sister goes missing, Sam’s family falls apart. This is a world where soap bubbles overflow the sink, a yellow raincoat is spotted in the most unlikely of places and the whole world hasto be re-assembled, one toothpick at a time.

​“Splinters… offers the discerning audience member a dozen pleasures, chief among them being Schwend’s astonishingly deft hand with dialogue. There is not a single line in two hours and ten minutes which sounds or feels inauthentic, and the characters are full, deep and complex.” Tim Treanor, DC Theatre Scene
