Kingdom of the Shore, according to press notes, is a "comic drama that takes place on the front porch of the Moloney sisters' summer home that has been in the family for over 50 years. When a handsome offer is made on the estate, the sisters must contemplate their sisterly bonds, the need for closure and their own lives."
The play premiered at Capital Repertory Theatre in Albany last season where it was called "a poignant reflection on love, loss and the bonds of family."
