Because of our busy schedules we had to see this at the matinee. Had I not checked out the storyline I probably would have skipped it but I’m glad we didn’t.

Ben and his six children are living in the wilderness of Washington state. Ben’s wife has been away for several months and early in the show we hear she has committed suicide after a life-long battle with depression. The family, after some debate, board their renovated bus and head towards New Mexico to ensure her wishes for cremation are honoured. There are issues between Ben and his wife’s family that add to the plot.

It was fun to see the first part of their drive as we had just traveled those roads on our trip to and from Portland.
