This Lingering Life takes place in someplace like the U.S., where we meet a woman with tragic hair, feudal warriors, a mother whose son was kidnapped, a blind beggar, dead lovers, a pathetic old man in love with a teenager, a boy whose father is an arrow, and other sentient beings. It all happens in the present time, except when it happens in an ancient era.

But now, on the eve of his trial, Dennis Kahane wants you to know that none of the occurrences are what they seem. A play about the price of free speech, Goliath explores the relationship between political violence and loneliness in America.
