Summary:Two grown orphan brothers live in an old dilapidated row house in North Philadelphia—deserted in childhood by an unfaithful father and by the death of their mother.
Older brother Treat, brutal and violent, provides for his younger brother Phillip by being a petty thief -
When Treat kidnaps a Harold; a gangster from Chicago, Harold morphs into the role of teacher, healer and surrogate parent, that the boys have always longed for... Beautiful, moving and ultimately heart-breaking, Orphans is a play that will stay with you long after you leave the theatre.
